Healthy Ireland Framework: Public Consultation
Healthy Ireland is a national plan to help people in Ireland live healthier and happier lives. The plan was first introduced in 2013 and it looks at health in a broad way — including physical health, mental health, and social wellbeing.
Since 2013, Healthy Ireland has guided how Government departments, local authorities, communities and services work together to improve health. The framework focuses on:
Prevention – supporting people to stay healthy.
Equity – making sure everyone has a fair chance at good health.
Participation – listening to people and communities.
Working together – across society, not just the health service.
More detail on the Healthy Ireland Framework can be found here.
Minister of State with responsibility for Public Health, Wellbeing and the National Drugs Strategy, Jennifer Murnane O’Connor TD is inviting you to help shape Ireland’s next Healthy Ireland Framework.
We are launching an online public consultation to listen to your views, experiences and ideas. Your input will directly inform how we develop the next phase of Healthy Ireland.
This is an opportunity for all of us to work together to strengthen health and wellbeing across the country. We want to build a shared understanding of what health and wellbeing mean in everyday life, for individuals, families and communities.
We are especially keen to hear from people whose voices are not always heard, including minority and disadvantaged communities. Improving health equity will be central to the new framework, and we cannot do this without your insight and lived experience.
The estimated time to complete the survey is: 10 minutes
The submissions for this online consultation will close on 22 April 2026.
The views and opinions collected will be considered and will be used to inform future policy.
