Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

This is a review of the Department of Finance, not the Department of the Taoiseach. The Minister has indicated there will be an independent review to evaluate the systems, structures and processes used by the Department of Finance in its role in advising the Minister and the Government. It will be carried out expeditiously and I do not anticipate that the terms of reference, etc., will be a matter of public discourse. The matter is pertinent only to the Department of Finance.
