My Department is committed to implementation of the action in the Public Service Reform Plan, agreed by Government in November 2011, to evaluate the opportunity for the external delivery of some non-core public services into the future. Examples of public service areas for potential outsourcing are:
(i) Development of Valentia Island Air monitoring facility; and (ii) Aviation observations modernisation and automation development.
