In Budget 2008, the then Tánaiste and Minister for Finance announced that the Government agreed to an efficiency review of administrative spending across all Departments. As part of this process, Departments were required to examine their administrative spending and to provide specific proposals for savings to the Department of Finance. My Department has submitted relevant proposals to the Department of Finance for review.

I expect that the question of the publication of the outcome of the review exercise, and its implications for public expenditure in 2008 and 2009, will be considered by the Government in due course.
