Goal 1: Maintaining a safe and secure Ireland: While the Department is committed to preventing crime, it remains the case that crimes are committed and detected. Our aim is to divert as many people as possible from the criminal justice system to services that are better equipped to deal with their mental health, addiction and other issues. For those who properly come within the scope of the criminal justice system, the Department will continue to focus on increasing effective alternatives to prison through investment in youth justice structures, the Probation Service, community services and restorative justice and, more resources will be targeted at rehabilitation of offenders in our prison system to reduce levels of recidivism.
Goal 2: Improving access to justice for all: … Reforming our laws on areas such as the sale of alcohol, licensing of firearms, defamation and censorship will provide more effective regulation of social, economic and recreational activities that are within the Department’s policy remit.
