An overview of ODI’s priorities for all 2024 General Election candidates and political parties.

Creating pathways to equity, opportunity, and innovation

At the Open Doors Initiative, our vision is of an Ireland where diversity in business thrives and no one is left behind. Our 2024 General Election Manifesto, A Vision for an Inclusive Ireland, sets out concrete steps that Government, businesses, and communities can take together to build a society where equitable access to employment is the norm.

Key Highlights from the Paper

• Intensive English language programmes to unlock employability for newcomers.
• Cross-departmental business taskforce to drive migrant integration and cohesion.
• Employment reforms for people with disabilities, recognising the real cost of disability.
• Fairer opportunities for those with a criminal history, through legislative reform.
• Expansion of accessible remote working hubs to support diverse needs across Ireland.
