The restructuring of my Department on aireacht-executive unit lines as recommended by the Devlin Committee is at present the subject of a joint study programme by officials of the Department of the Public Service and my Department. The establishment of a management advisory committee forms part of that programme. I might add that while such a committee has not yet been established formally in my Department the system has been operated informally for a considerable time.
