Seanad debates

Wednesday, 26 February 2003

The Government is not immune to accepting good proposals from any quarter, as has been demonstrated over a considerable period. The situation has to be viewed in context. It is entirely appropriate for Members on this side of the House, as occurs frequently in the course of debates on this and other subjects, to put forward proposals for future implementation. I acknowledge that the Minister took the substance of the motion totally on board when he stated in that the Government is committed to taking early and decisive action on the reform of management structures and financial accountability. I am pleased that he has fully accepted the thrust and sentiments of the motion. He said he is confident that there are gains to be made from a radical restructuring of the system in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and value for money. We could not have expected more than that in response to the motion.
