The Report of the Special Group on Public Service Numbers and Expenditure Programmes made a number of recommendations addressed directly to my Department. All recommendations contained in the report have been considered by my Department and, where appropriate, have been implemented either in part or in full.

The following table sets out the current position in relation to the recommendations and identifies the associated savings achieved to date.

As the Deputy will be aware, FÁS transferred from my Department to the Department of Education and Skills with effect from 1 May this year and the recommendations made by the Special Group in relation to FÁS programmes and services are now a matter for consideration by that Department.
