Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 January 2010
237 Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the number of reports and task forces set up and commissioned in his Department in 2007, 2008 and 2009; the reason for each report; the number of reports completed; and the cost of each in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2622/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn relation to task forces, I presume the Deputy is referring to high-level committees that Departments establish from time to time to consider and advance particular strategic issues, and the reports emanating from such groups. In this context, my Department has set up no such task force since it was established in June 2002 and consequently there are no associated reports. However, for the sake of completeness, I have asked my Department to collate details of any other substantive reports (i.e. reports other than internal reports, assessments, audits, etc) commissioned during the period referred to and to forward the relevant information directly to the Deputy.
