Kieran O'Donnell (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I welcome the Minister and his colleagues. This is a fine document and it must be acknowledged that 90% of the actions in the second plan between 2014 and 2016 have already been implemented.

When before the Seanad recently, the Taoiseach said that everybody loves reform but few like the change that comes with it. The Minister is setting up a unit to focus on monitoring and evaluating reforms, as well as creating greater links between expenditure and reform. It seems like a good concept. What format will the reform evaluation unit take? How often will it report? Will it be resourced? Will the Minister elaborate on where he sees this going?
