[25853/08]
View answerUnder the current round of the Value for Money and Policy Review Initiative for the period 2006 to 2008, my Department is committed to carrying out the following six reviews: Irish Film Board, Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme, Irish Sports Council Reviews (rolled over from the previous round); the Arts and Culture Capital Enhancement Scheme (ACCESS), Arts Council and Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Reviews. The Swimming Pool and the Irish Film Board Value for Money and Policy Reviews have been completed and will be published shortly. The other Reviews are in train and will be completed in 2008.
My Department intends to take into account the findings and recommendations of the Value for Money Reviews in its future management of the Programmes under review, and where practicable and appropriate, to have them implemented.
