The Reach Board was reconstituted earlier this year so that Departments and Agencies making use of Reach services would be involved more closely in relation to current Reach operations.

This new Board, together with the Departments of the Taoiseach and Finance, are overseeing a review of the new role and operations of the Reach project including that of the public service broker.

The review is currently underway and the Board expects to report, on target, by the end of the year. I will bring forward proposals for the future of Reach following receipt of that report.
