Amharc ar fhreagraFollowing on from the launch and publication of the National Human Rights Strategy for Disabled People 2025-2030 in September 2025, I am delighted to report that the First Programme Plan of Action was published on in December 2025. This is available to download at gov.ie

It is the first of a total of three two-year Programme Plans of Action that will guide the Strategy’s implementation over the next five years, ensuring dynamic, agile and effective delivery of commitments and priority actions across the five core thematic pillars of the Strategy.
Covering the period to the end of this year, the First Programme Plan of Action clearly sets out how the priority actions under each commitment will be delivered by various lead government departments and public bodies, the timeframe for delivery and the success indicators by which performance will be measured. Progress for each commitment will be reported on to the Delivery and Monitoring Committee, chaired by an Taoiseach, on a biannual basis.
In keeping with the whole-of-government approach set out in the National Human Rights Strategy for Disabled People 2025-2030, I look forward to working with colleagues across government in ensuring that the priority actions that fall under the remit of responsible government departments and public bodies will be delivered in the manner set out in the First Programme Plan of Action 2025-2026.
