Dear all,

The public consultation on Ireland's 2nd Draft National Action Plan  is open until Wednesday 30th November at 5pm.  This email sets out ways you can have your say, keep up to date on developments this week, and query submission data from the current and previous consultation stage. 

How to have your say
There are a number of ways you can comment on the Plan. You can: comment via the 'Make a Submission' facility which enables you to update your submission until the closing date; You can have your say by phone 01-604 5741; email 
gpirel...@per.gov.ieor post Regina Kilduff, DPER, 7-9 Merrion Row, D02 V223, Dublin. 

All submissions will be published. There is an optional facility to enable others to comment on your submission, which you can choose during the online submission process. 


View submissions & subscribe for alerts
View submissions received to date here. The Department has responded via the comments section under each submission. 
To keep alerted to new submissions, log in and subscribe for updates to the consultation. The Subscribe to feature is on the right hand bar of each page of the Draft Plan.

Link between draft and submissions from stage 1
A table is also published that shows the relationship between the commitments and submissions received.  
http://www.ogpireland.ie/response-to-submissions/

A comment facility is open on this table page. 

In response to Flora's query regarding a table outlining the link between submissions and actions (verifiable and measurable milestones), the Dept. referred to the Foreword of the Draft Plan: "The commitments set out in this draft National Action Plan are framed at a high level. They cannot reflect in detail the depth of knowledge, experiences and ideas shared during the initial consultation. We will establish an Implementation Review Forum that will allow people to see how their contributions are reflected in implementing the commitments in this plan. The first Implementation Review Forum will take place in April 2017."

If any respondent to the current consultation would like to ask how their submission is reflected in the draft plan, Dept. officials with responsibility for implementation will respond to requests. The email address to use is o...@civiq.eu.

Reports
Report dashboards are available for both the first stage and now the current stage of the consultation. These provide summary graphs and a facility to filter submissions by theme or commitment. 

First (pre-draft) consultation stage 

Current Draft Plan consultation stage

Both are accessible via the blue icon on the Browse page (Reports column). The links will shortly be available from the consultation pages.

Further updates
I hope this information will be helpful to you in preparing your comments on the Draft Plan. Stay tuned to the OGP Ireland facebook page where new submissions will also be posted, and Twitter @ogpconsultirl (hashtag #ogpirl). Please call or email if you have any questions at all. 


Kind regards,
Vanessa
