My Department will achieve savings in 2013 in all areas of administrative activity through improvements in procurement processes, greater use of technology and shared services, redeployment of resources and restructuring of processes. However the final 2013 allocation is still under discussion with the Department of Public Expenditure Reform as we need to take account of additional requirements in respect of the Constitutional Convention, Ireland’s Presidency of the EU and reductions to my Departments employment control framework in the context of Government policy on public service staff number reductions.
