——which includes areas in the Departments of Health and Children, Education and Science and Justice, Equality and Law Reform. This is being developed more and more. An integrated public service must be consistent, co-ordinated and networked and there must be sharing and pooling of information to prevent duplication such as that which exists at the moment. I commend the report to the House and I commend the Taoiseach on his obvious desire to bring about change in the public service. I look forward to the task force report at the end of the summer, at which time I hope we will have an opportunity to revisit this subject.
