Question:

33. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he intends to make any further changes to the top level appointments committee. [51551/12]

Written answers

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

In line with the Programme for Government commitment, the restructuring of the Top Level Appointments Committee (TLAC) was announced in April 2011.

In July 2011 I announced the five external appointments to TLAC, one of whom would be the chairperson. Together with the four Senior Civil Service Members the restructured Committee commenced work in July 2011.

I am happy that this new structure is working well and have no intention to make further changes at this time.
