Vol. 535 No. 1
107 Mr. Deasy asked the Taoiseach when the Government will publish a timetable to fulfil the recommendations of the OECD on deregulation and privatisation in view of the fact that he has indicated his acceptance of their findings; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12145/01]
A copy of the OECD's Report on "Regulatory Reform in Ireland" was presented to the Irish Government on 24 April 2001. A copy has been lodged in the Oireachtas Library for the information of Members, along with a copy of my speech on receipt of the report and of the press releases issued by the OECD and the Government.
In terms of specific arrangements to deal with the OECD's recommendations, the Government has decided to establish a high level group on regulation which will be asked to map out strategic priorities to be addressed within a period of one year from the date of its inception, and to make proposals to Government on the matter. The timetable for implementation will be based on the group's work.
