Amharc ar fhreagraI am satisfied with the level of progress to date in the context of the overall scale of the programme and the timeframe involved. Recently the chair of the implementation group gave a presentation to the Oireachtas Committee on Finance and the Public Service. He made it clear that he saw considerable merit in having a target timeframe. I am determined to drive forward the process of implementation and to ensure that the benefits of the programme are delivered as quickly as possible.
