This report is part of the EU-funded project “Building Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development (PCSD) across national and local government in Ireland”. This report provides an overview of Ireland’s legislation, institutional mechanisms, policy tools and processes for promoting PCSD. It identifies strengths, weaknesses, and possible ways forward. It shares positive practices, including institutional collaboration and stakeholder engagement, and provides an in-depth review of SDG implementation at the local level. At the same time, it also identifies areas for further development, such as integrating the SDGs into existing policy tools and building capacity at the local level.
