Question 95: To ask the Minister for Finance if his Department will complete an efficiency review and audit of all State agencies and bodies under the responsibility of his Department; if he has plans to merge or abolish any State agencies or bodies; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

In line with my predecessor's Budget 2008 announcement, the Department of Finance has engaged in the efficiency review exercise on the same basis as all other Government Departments, with a view to identifying possible savings on administrative spending. The exercise has included the bodies within the aegis of my Department. I am now considering the various responses my Department has received under the Efficiency Review initiative with a view to reverting to Government on the matter in the near future. Any issues concerning State agencies and bodies would also be considered by the Government in that overall context.
