The Final Report of the Strategic Review on Penal Policy was published by Minister for Justice and Equality, Frances Fitzgerald TD on 17 Sept 2014.
On its publication, IPRT welcomed the report. IPRT endorses the vast majority of the recommendations, and urges the Minister for Justice and Equality to consider their implementation in full.
IPRT will closely shadow the implementation of the Review Group’s recommendations, to ensure that Ireland’s criminal and penal policy meets its stated goal of making Ireland “a safer and fairer place.”
