The Irish Council for Civil Liberties (ICCL) has made a submission to the Working Group on the Establishment of the Human Rights and Equality Commission.

This brief submission highlights some of the shortcomings of the current structures and provides the ICCL’s answers to the three key questions on which the Working Group has sought responses:

What should the new body do?

What features and functions will it need in order to carry out its work?

How should it be structured and what working methods should it use to achieve the above?
