Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

There are no current plans to discontinue the Civil Service Accountability Board. The terms of reference of the Board are published on the website of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform at https://www.per.gov.ie/en/accountability-board/. Work is underway on a new Civil Service Renewal plan that will include the areas that fall under the terms of reference of the Accountability Board.
