Written answers

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (Deputy Brendan Howlin)

I wish to refer the Deputy to the detailed progress report on my Department's Action Plan under the Public Service Agreement 2012-2014 (Croke Park Agreement) published on my Department's website (www.per.gov.ie). My Department was established on 6 July 2011 and I am pleased to say that in the areas of better human resource management, better business processes and delivering for the citizen tangible progress has already been achieved in many areas and in the case of others work is underway to deliver in accordance with the Plan.
