The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission is currently seeking expressions of interest for new members
The Disability Advisory Committee includes members of the IHREC Commission and external members appointed by the Commission. These new appointments will bring the external membership of the Committee to thirteen. At least 75% (that is 10 members) of the external members of the Disability Advisory Committee will be disabled people.
IHREC Consultation on Independent Living takes place Tuesday 15th April 2025
IHREC is the Independent Monitoring Mechanism (IMM) under the UNCRPD. Our role is to promote and monitor the implementation of the UNCRPD in Ireland. The Commission will produce a submission reviewing Ireland’s implementation of the UNCRPD in the coming months. This is to inform the consideration by the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities of the ‘List of Issues’ that will be the basis of the States’ review by the Committee in 2028. This consultation event will contribute to our report of the UNCRPD in Ireland.
