The National Plan on Business and Human Rights 2017 - 2020 (the Plan) implements the United Nations "guiding Principles on Business and Human Right". A key element of the Plan is the establishment of a Business and Human Rights implementation group which will bring together representatives of government, business and civil society. The Plan is divided into three sections: Section One sets out the international context and domestic consultative process which has informed the development of the National Plan. Section Two summarizes the current legislative and regulatory framework in Ireland. Section Three contains the actions to be taken under this Plan. The actions contained in the Plan are structured into two categories: 1) Key commitments to ensure policy coherence across Government; 2) Initial priorities for the Business and Human Rights. This Plan is designed to be a living document and it will be updated regularly to take account of developments. Progress on implementation will also be the subject of a multi-stakeholder forum to be held two years after adoption of the Plan.
