Richard Bruton

Question:

202 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Taoiseach the five measurable performance indicators he regards as targets of greatest priority within his Department; the way in which this measure has changed in each year since 1997; his views on whether confining priorities to five indicators gives too partial a picture of departmental priorities; and if he will report on the movement over the period from 1997 to 2004 of other primary indicators of performance.
