I am conscious that programmes of reform sometimes derive from issues of political controversy. It is clear that was the case with the Department of Justice and Equality. I am conscious that the Taoiseach referred previously to the Department as "dysfunctional". I am not going to ask Mr. O'Driscoll to comment on that statement. It was not a comment with which I agreed. Is Mr. O'Driscoll satisfied that the reforms will make the Department more capable of being accountable and responding to issues of immediate public concern?
