The Third Report of the Organisational Review Programme was published on 26th January this year. The report contains the findings of reviews of four Departments: the Department of the Taoiseach, the Department of Education and Skills, the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. It also contains comprehensive follow-up action plans prepared by each of these organisations and by the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht in relation to the National Parks and Wildlife Service.

As the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform was not reviewed as part of the Organisational Review Programme, the question of preparing a follow-up action plan does not arise. However, all those organisations which were reviewed will progress implementation of their action plans. The prioritization of this process will be reflected in their Integrated Reform Delivery Plans developed as part of the Public Service Reform Programme.
