Modernising Staffing and Court Management Practices in Ireland
Towards a More Responsive and Resilient Justice System
Ireland has launched an ambitious strategy to build a more inclusive, efficient and
sustainable justice sector. Irish citizens recognise these efforts: Ireland is one
of the OECD countries with a higher percentage of citizens trusting their government
and courts, according to the recent OECD Survey on the Drivers of Trust in Public
Institutions. This study aims to support these efforts by analysing the judicial workforce
and relevant support structures and processes currently employed by the Irish courts.
In particular, the study seeks to contribute to the deliberations of the Irish Judicial
Planning Working Group, which was established to identify reform initiatives and evaluate
staffing needs to enhance the efficient administration of justice over the next five
years.
