The Department of Children, Equality, Integration and Youth

The United Nations International Decade for People of African Descent is funded and supported by the Department of Children, Equality, Integration and Youth. The Department took this role from the Department of Justice which was in charge of integration policy before this responsibility was moved to the Department of Children, Equality, Integration and Youth following a transfer of functions between Ministers as part of the new Irish Government formation in 2020
