Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 19 January 2022
408. Deputy Mairéad Farrell asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the progress he has made to date implementing the recommendations of the report that was issued by the Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach in relation to top public service appointments and remuneration (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2269/22]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, the Report on the Processes and Procedures Applying to the Appointment of Senior Executives in the Public Service by the Houses of the Oireachtas Committee of Public Accounts and the Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach is a lengthy examination of complex issues that span a number of policy and legislative areas. Given the scope and extent of the 288 page report, and the detailed recommendations therein, the report requires careful consideration. I am conducting a review of these issues which I expect to be completed in the near future. The recommendations of the Committee's report will form an important input to this review.
