Mr. Mark Griffin:

We also meet more regularly now as part of the Civil Service management board, which was established following publication by the Taoiseach and the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform of the Civil Service renewal plan. Some of the issues with which the Civil Service management board is grappling at present is a common governance standard for Departments, the role of Accounting Officers and Secretaries General and the dialogue between Ministers and Secretaries General arising from some of the issues which cropped up in the Toland report. It is examining governance issues more generally.
