The Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration has published its Statement of Strategy 2025–2028, outlining key priorities and planned reforms for the years ahead. The Strategy sets out a commitment to strengthening public safety, supporting secure communities and delivering on the Government’s programme, Securing Ireland’s Future.
Central to the plan is continued investment in An Garda Síochána, with a focus on increased recruitment and the provision of the resources and legislation needed to support effective policing. Over the next five years, almost 1,600 new prison spaces will be delivered, and both the Prison Service and Probation Service will be supported to ensure appropriate and effective sanctions are available to the courts.
A broad legislative agenda will be advanced, including measures to allow the retrospective use of facial recognition technology in serious crime investigations, reforms to the handling of counselling records in sexual offence cases, and legislation to criminalise sex-for-rent. The International Protection Bill will reset Ireland’s protection process in line with the EU Migration Pact, while safeguarding the integrity of the State’s immigration framework.
The Strategy also commits to improving access to justice by reducing court waiting times, reforming legal aid, and modernising the Coroners Service to provide more timely and compassionate support to bereaved families.
A rules-based, fair and balanced immigration system remains a core focus. Work will begin on Ireland’s first National Migration and Integration Strategy, recognising the important contribution of migrants to society while ensuring that immigration rules are enforced.
The Department acknowledges the contributions of staff, stakeholders and members of the public who helped shape the Strategy, and reaffirms its commitment to building a justice system that supports a safe, fair and inclusive Ireland.
A trial at Limerick Circuit Criminal Court has heard that senior gardaí have the authority to cancel Fixed Charge Penalty Notices (FCPNs) in specific circumstances.
Four serving gardaí and a retired superintendent, Mr Edmund “Eamon” O’Neill, Sergeants Ms Michelle Leahy and Ms Anne-Marie Hassett, and Gardaí Mr Tom McGlinchey and Mr Colm Geary, have pleaded not guilty to 39 counts of allegedly engaging in conduct “tending and intending to pervert the course of justice”. The charges arise from a Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation (GNBCI) inquiry into alleged interventions in potential or pending road traffic prosecutions.
Prosecution witness Sgt Mr Kevin McCahey, formerly of the FCPN Enforcement Unit in Thurles, testified that he routinely followed instructions during garda investigations and saw nothing improper in GNBCI requests for FCPN information. Under questioning, he said it was not unusual for members of the public to seek advice from local gardaí after receiving a notice, but added he would recuse himself from handling a query involving someone he personally knew due to a “perceived conflict of interest”. He stated he would refuse any “improper instructions”, including a request to alter a notice.
Superintendent Ms Blaithin Moran of the Garda Roads Policing Bureau told the court she regularly worked with the FCPN Cancelling Authority in Thurles, where she had legitimately cancelled notices in exceptional cases, such as emergency responses by medical professionals or incidents involving sudden death. She said travelling to routine medical appointments or funerals would not qualify. Discretion, she noted, is applied “on a case-by-case basis”.
The case, before Judge Mr Roderick Maguire and a jury of 12, is expected to run until Christmas.
