2nd December 2025
Join us as we launch the latest report in IPRT's Progress in the Penal System series.
The Irish Penal Reform Trust (IPRT) is pleased to invite you to the official launch of the 2024 Progress in the Penal System (PIPS) Report, taking place on:
Tuesday, 2 December
10:00am – 12:30pm
IHREC Event Space, 16–22 Green Street, Dublin 7
The 2024 PIPS Report is the latest publication in the IPRT PIPS series, offering a renewed opportunity to reflect on both progress and persistent challenges across Ireland’s penal system. The report considers performance against 35 key standards developed by IPRT, highlighting areas of advancement, identifying where improvement is urgently needed, and setting out key recommendations for change.
Grounded in principles of human rights, equality, dignity, transparency, and accountability, the PIPS framework supports Ireland in meeting its international human rights obligations and in ensuring that the rights of people in the penal system are respected and protected.
The event will include contributions from expert speakers and a panel discussion on the need for progressive penal reform in Ireland.
We hope you can join us for this important event.
