PAI’s HR Exchange 2026
Public service transformation doesn't happen through policy alone. Government has set an ambitious vision for a more capable, innovative and responsive public service. Across Ireland, organisations are investing in leadership, workforce capability, digital transformation
and organisational development to deliver better public services and improve outcomes for citizens. But capability alone doesn't deliver transformation. People do. Transformation only happens when people have the confidence to adopt new ways of thinking, leading and working. And confidence is built on trust.

PAI Executive Briefing: Cyber Security, Data Breaches & Digital Sovereignty – What Every Public Sector Leader Needs to Know in 2026
Cyber security has become one of the defining leadership and governance challenges facing the Irish public sector.
From increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks and AI-enabled threats to new European legislation and growing concerns around digital sovereignty, senior leaders are being asked to make decisions that extend far beyond traditional IT and information security.
Recent events—including the Irish Times investigation into software used within Irish State agencies—have reinforced the importance of understanding not only how organisations respond to cyber incidents, but also how they assess the technologies, suppliers and digital infrastructure they rely upon.
