Committee Chairman Ciarán Lynch said: “The Department of the Taoiseach is undergoing an intense period of change which involves significant restructuring of the organisation and re-prioritising of its work. The Strategy Statement outlines this process of change. The Department has identified eight strategic priorities for the period 2011-2014: jobs & growth; Europe; the Programme for Government; service; reform; trust; fairness; and peace. Tomorrow will be an opportunity for the Committee to get an update on the strategy and assess what progress has been made in achieving change and delivering on these priorities.
“Following this we will discuss the role and work of the IFSC Clearing House Group. The IFSC Clearing House Group is chaired by the Secretary General of the Department of the Taoiseach and includes representatives from Government Departments, State Agencies and the International Financial Services Industry.”
