Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan TD has launched a public survey to help create new voluntary guidelines for how child maintenance payments should be made. The survey follows the publication last year of a Departmental review into how child maintenance orders are enforced. The Review of the Enforcement of Child Maintenance Orders recommended the creation of a Committee to develop guidelines to help inform parents on how to make private child maintenance arrangements. The survey is open until 2 May 2025, and members of the public, especially parents with experience in child maintenance, legal professionals, and family workers, are encouraged to share their views. More details and a link to the survey are available here: https://lnkd.in/eq78X3CJ

Today saw the Policing, Security and Community Safety Act fully commenced. This journey started with the work of the Commission on the Future of Policing, which reported in 2018. The legislation is really substantial, and the biggest change to policing governance and oversight in a generation. Today, we created: - a Board for An Garda Síochána for the first time - a new Independent Examiner of Security Legislation - a new National Office for Community Safety - the Policing and Community Safety Authority, replacing both the Policing Authority and the Garda Síochána Inspectorate - Fiosrú, the Office of the Police Ombudsman, replacing GSOC The legislation also enshrines some really important principles in law, including that An Garda Síochána is one organisation, comprising both Garda members and civilian staff, led by the Garda Commissioner as a true CEO, and that community safety is not the responsibility of Gardaí alone. So many people in the Department of Justice have been involved in this over the years, perhaps none more centrally than Anne Barry and her team who drafted the Bill. But huge credit to Louise Sandom, Deirdre McDonnell and their team, along with John O'Callaghan, Oonagh McPhillips, and all of the others involved in bringing it across the finishing line! 👏👏👏 #policing #reform

Today I commenced the landmark Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024. As a result, the following bodies are now established: •                   The Garda Board; •                   The Policing and Community Safety Authority (replacing the existing Policing Authority and Garda Síochána Inspectorate); •                   Fiosrú – the Office of the Police Ombudsman; •                   The Office of the Independent Examiner of Security Legislation; and •                   The National Office for Community Safety.

Cabinet approval to progress legislation that will see those convicted of killing their partner or the other parent of their child, lose guardianship rights. Minister for Justice Jim O’Callaghan believes issues around guardianship of children in a scenario where one parent or guardian kills the other should not be regarded as a matter of private law between the families concerned but, instead, should be regarded as a child protection and welfare issue arising in the public law area. It is intended to prevent vulnerable children from further trauma, to provide clarity for surviving family members, and to prevent perpetrators from maintaining control over these children’s lives.
