Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is not simply a report, because it sets out all the actions, including details on the person responsible for seeing that certain actions are taken, the person responsible for sponsoring the actions, the progress that has been made and so on.

Deputy Martin made a comment about the quality and range of the public service. In this sense the plan is something akin to the Action Plan for Jobs, whereby actions are time-lined and reported and all of these matters are published on the website of either the Department of the Taoiseach or the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, which has responsibility in this area. The measures cover the range of Departments, with persons at senior level sponsoring and seeing that these actions are actually applied.

Deputy Martin asked about the minutes taken by Departments. These come through in memoranda for Government and are recorded as formal minutes. The minutes of these management advisory committee meetings are published on a quarterly basis and are on the website of the Department for everyone to read. I am unsure whether that deals with Deputy Martin's question. I will check the question about delegation orders which Deputy Martin raised and come back to him on it.
