Irish Penal Reform Trust

Elections 2020

In advance of the 2020 general election, IPRT has once again put forward our 5 key recommendations for the next programme for government. We have analysed 7 party manifestos as they were made public. We continue to track policy debates around crime and punishment, benchmarking these against policies and innovations demonstrated to be effective.

All of IPRT's policy proposals are backed up by solid evidence and research, presented across a series of Research reports and Position Papers and Briefings and Submissions published on this website. For more details, please contact campaigns@iprt.ie

Are We 5 Steps Closer to Better and Safer Communities?
