Written answers

My Department is well advanced in its work to meet the deadline of 31 December 2004 imposed by Government for the implementation of a new financial management system to facilitate the management information framework. The new system has already been implemented for the Courts Service and the Garda Síochána. It is due to be implemented for the core Department at the end of June 2004, for the Prison Service by the end of September 2004 and for the Land Registry and Registry of Deeds by the end of December 2004. A very significant amount of work has been done to bring the justice sector organisations to this stage and more needs to be done to fully implement the management information framework.

Planning for the next phase of the management information framework has already commenced in the Department and in its agencies. This phase will involve communicating the principles of the management information framework, training people to operate in a management information framework environment with new management information systems and business processes, reviewing organisational performance indicators and devolving responsibility and accountability to the greatest extent possible throughout the organisations.
