Amharc ar fhreagraUnder the Public Service Agreement 2010-2014, detailed action plans have been developed across the Justice Sector to underpin the change and reform process envisaged by the Agreement. The Action Plans were first developed in October 2010 and subsequently revised in January 2011.
The Department and the Agencies under its remit were required to prepare their first detailed report on the progress being made in implementing their Action Plans last May and this formed part of the first annual review of the Agreement undertaken by the Implementation Body. These progress reports have been published on the websites of the bodies concerned.
The second phase of progress reporting on the Agreement is underway at present and updated progress reports from the Justice Sector are due to be submitted for examination to the Implementation Body by end October. As before, the individual reports will be published on the websites of the bodies concerned.
My Department has no responsibility for discussions with the EU/IMF in regard to the Agreement.
