Frances Fitzgerald (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael)

The next group of amendments is group 6, Nos. 13 and 14, which are required to reflect the enactment of the Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Act 2011, which established the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform is now responsible for the modernisation and development of the public service along with certain other functions which were transferred from the Department of Finance. In the context of these amendments that Department becomes responsible for superannuation issues and administration expenses in the context of the dissolution of the Children Acts Advisory Board. It is a technical amendment.
