Abstract

In February 2017, the Department of Justice and Equality published its new Migrant Integration Strategy. This was the first significant publication dealing with migrant integration in Ireland since 2008. In her foreword to the Migrant Integration Strategy, Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality Frances Fitzgerald described the strategy as ‘the first step towards realising the long-term vision of Ireland as a society in which migrants and those of migrant origin play active roles in communities, workplaces and politics’. David Stanton, Minister for State with special responsibility for Equality, Immigration and Integration, wrote of the need to ensure that ‘barriers to their integration are identified and removed’ (Department of Justice and Equality 2017: 2-3). The document sets out a range of general and specific actions for Government departments, agencies, local authorities and other public bodies for the period to 2020 (see Appendix 1 for an overview)
