The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Act 2014 gives the Commission powers to
provide grants to bodies to carry out certain activities to promote human rights and equality
in Ireland.
In its Strategy Statement 2022-24, the Commission sets out five strategic priorities. From
among those strategic priorities, the focus of this year’s grant scheme will be supporting
projects under the following two strategic priorities:
- Strategic Priority One on Economic Equality. Under the Economic Equality theme, the
Commission will be specifically supporting projects that contribute to advancing
greater economic equality in relation to one or a combination of these topics:
housing/accommodation, employment, income or carers;
- Strategic Priority Five on the Public Sector Equality and Human Rights Duty (the
Duty). Under this Priority, the Commission’s focus will be to support projects that
advance compliance with the Public Sector Equality and Human Rights Duty (the
Duty).
