Strengthening Policy Development in the Public Sector in Ireland
The report analyses the policy development process in Ireland. It focusses on three main areas that shape policy development: evidence, implementation, and legitimacy. It also discusses the skills, capacities, methods and tools in the Irish public sector that support effective policy development. The report highlights Ireland’s strengths, identifies gaps, provides examples of good practices, and suggests a number of areas of opportunity and action to bolster the policy development system and improve policymaking.
Towards a Modern Policy Capability Infrastructure and Policy Toolkit in Ireland
This chapter provides a number of insights and pointers on how the Government of Ireland could develop a policy capability infrastructure, which may serve as a narrative for socialisation across the civil service to kick-start and build momentum for the change process in policy development. It also proposes the development of an accompanying toolkit as part of a broader good practices hub and suggests a number of steps that could be considered.
