Vol. 378 No. 4
asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the level of voluntary redundancy-early retirement uptake in his Department; if it is intended to publish the findings of the recent efficiency audit undertaken in his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
31.
asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when the efficiency audit on his Department will be published; and the reason it was not published before the budget.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 16 and 31 together.
Eighty-seven officers of my Department have already retired under the voluntary redundancy scheme and applications have been lodged by a further 83.
The efficiency audit is now being finalised and I expect to have the report shortly. It is not intended to publish this report.
