Ms Éimear Fisher:

Last year we were unhappy with the level of progress. We called it as it was at the time. The plans have now been put in place and the strategic transformation office is in existence. There was a challenge associated with the volume of recommendations made by the inspectorate and in other reports. Our understanding is that the plan is now in place. The Commissioner's modernisation and reform plan has been published and an office is overseeing its implementation. There is now more than traction and we are in the implementation stage, but we maintain the view that we would like to see more energetic implementation. It is always the case that we would like to see more timely implementation. Most of the 574 recommendations we have made to date, particularly the recent ones, have been sequenced according to short, medium and long-term priority. We would like to see the short-term recommendations implemented, followed, obviously, by the others thereafter. To answer the Deputy's question, there is a framework now in place, in addition to a structure and staff. We hope the traction will be a little speedier.
