Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 June 2015
283. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of meetings he has held in his Department on the recommendations in the Moriarty tribunal report; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23084/15]
View answerI have held no meetings in my Department in relation to the recommendations in the Moriarty Tribunal Report. However, the one recommendation in the Moriarty Tribunal Report directly relevant to my Department's area of responsibility is among the matters considered in the context of the substantial review of the effectiveness and efficiency of Ireland's current Ethics framework recently completed by my Department. Development of the Heads of a General Scheme for a comprehensive, reformed and modernised Public Sector Standards Bill has now been substantially progressed. The Heads of the Scheme are expected to be submitted to Government shortly for approval.
