In response to the Deputy’s question, as part of the Public Service Reform Plan, within my own area of control, the Commission on Public Service Appointments was merged into the Office of the Ombudsman with effect from October 2012. Arrangements are also currently underway for the merger of the Valuation Office, the Property Registration Authority and Ordnance Survey Ireland; and the measure concerning the State Laboratory and the Forensic Science Laboratory is progressing. No new State Bodies or Agencies have been created in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform since the formation of the Government.
