Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
Ministers and Secretaries Act 1924: Department of Public Expenditure and Reform
Mr. David Moloney:
We will continue to develop it. As I said, there does not appear to be an obvious right answer in terms of the OECD, legislation and so on. What the OECD points to as the solution is more in the nature of culture and values and of a co-operative arrangement and relationship of trust between the heads of the Civil Service and their respective Ministers and the Government as a whole.
It is very hard to create a policy or legislative solution that tries to bridge any gap there.
