That is a broad comment which is not particularly helpful. There are many specific recommendations in the commission's report and they must be addressed on an item by item basis. There are over 400 recommendations affecting the Ministers for Education, Health, Social Welfare and Justice. The only practical approach was to set up an interdepartmental task force to examine the recommendations carefully, prepare an action plan and priorities items that may be dealt with quickly by the relevant Ministers. The task force has already had meetings, I hope the action plan will be produced by the middle of the year and we can set about the implementation of the recommendations.
My ministerial colleagues have responsibilities for different aspects of this matter. It would be counterproductive to ask me the detail of the administrative responsibilities of other Ministers because do not have that information. However, those Ministers are readily available to deal with queries. Another Deputy has taken advantage of that availability by putting a question on this point to the Minister for Education. Any particular issue that arises within the ambit of another Minister should be addressed to the relevant Minister.
I have an overall responsibility to see to the implementation on a phased basis of the recommendations in the commission's report. The task force has been set up for that purpose and we will progress in a measured and careful way on that basis.
