Martin Mansergh (Tipperary South, Fianna Fail)

Implementation groups are often established following the publication of a report which includes recommendations. I do not see any problem in this regard.

On when the actions are likely to be initiated, the Minister will first need to know the outcome of the budget's Estimates deliberations before announcing what exactly the bodies under his aegis will be able to do next year. I am sure the different agencies are planning their campaigns down to the last detail. What exactly they will be able to do will depend on their budgetary allocations.
