In November 2017, the Commission hosted information events in Dublin and Limerick events to assist public bodies in understanding their statutory obligation to implement the Public Sector Human Rights and Equality Duty under Section 42 of the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Act 2014. The events provided valuable information and guidance, including keynote presentations from international and national speakers and feature practical workshops and networking opportunities.
