61 Mr. M. Higgins asked the Minister for Finance if he will make a statement on the first report of the group (details supplied) to oversee the decentralisation programme. [12974/04]
View answerThe decentralisation implementation group was appointed immediately after the 2004 budget to move the decentralisation programme forward. It delivered its first report on 31 March. The full text of the report is available on the decentralisation homepage of my Department's website www.finance.gov.ie
The Government considered its contents and has accepted all of the recommendations. Work is already progressing on them. The group will deliver a further report to Government at the end of July.
