Vol. 518 No. 1
17 Mrs. Owen asked the Taoiseach if he will publish the report entitled Recommendations for Change in the Chief State Solicitor's office prepared by the centre for management and organisation development in the Department of Finance; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8770/00]
18 Mrs. Owen asked the Taoiseach if operational and organisational changes are likely to be implemented in the Chief State Solicitor's office arising from the report entitled Recommendations for Change in the Chief State Solicitor's office; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8771/00]
19 Mr. Quinn asked the Taoiseach the steps, if any, taken to implement the recommendations of the report Recommendations for Change in the Chief State Solicitor's office, particularly having regard to the serious deficiencies in communi cations between the offices of the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Chief State Solicitor highlighted in the report; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8835/00]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 17 to 19 inclusive, together.
The report referred to by Deputy Owen arose from a study carried out by a project team comprising representatives from the Centre for Management and Organisation Development and the Chief State Solicitor's office. The study was part of a project to design and install a work management system making the most of modern technology. A range of administrative procedures and practices within the office are dealt with in the report.
Some of the recommendations of the report have already been implemented. Others have been the subject of more detailed study within the partnership structures in the office and are in the course of implementation. Finally, there are recommendations which must await the development of IT systems for full application.
I have arranged to make the report available to members by placing copies of it in the Oireachtas Library.
