In his Budget speech on 5 December 2007, the Minister for Finance announced that the Government had agreed to an Efficiency Review of administrative spending across the public service, with a view to reducing the cost of existing levels of service for 2009. It was further announced that proposals submitted by Departments would be reviewed within the Department of Finance, who would report to the Government on the issue.

As the outcome of the Efficiency Review is still being considered by the Department of Finance and by the Government, it would not be appropriate for me to comment on the matter at this stage.
