DoF Equality and Section 75

Section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998 (the Act) requires public authorities, in carrying out their functions relating to Northern Ireland, to have due regard to the need to promote equality of opportunity and regard to the desirability of promoting good relations across a range of categories outlined in the Act.

DoF is committed to fulfilling these Section 75 obligations and to implementing its Equality Scheme effectively.
