Question 481: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his Department made submissions to the McCarthy group on potential savings in his Department; the contents of the submissions made; if the McCarthy group made proposals to his Department; the contents of the proposals; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

At the commencement of its work, the Special Group on Public Service Numbers and Expenditure Programmes requested all Departments to prepare evaluation papers outlining potential areas for savings in staff numbers and expenditure. The Special Group met the Secretary General of my Department, Accounting Officers in the Vote Group and other senior officials in the course of its deliberations.
I understand that the Minister for Finance has recently received the Report of the Special Group, and he will be bringing the Report to Government in the near future. Decisions on the release of the Report and associated documents will be made by Government in that context.
