Since its establishment in June 2002, my Department has not established any specific bodies, committees or groups to deal with matters arising from the social partnership agreements. However, the Department's internal Partnership Committee has a role in the implementation, in the organisation, of the Civil Service modernisation agenda which forms part of the social partnership agreements. The Partnership Committee formed Sub-Groups to progress specific aspects of this agenda, including in the areas of human resources, communications and information technology. No funds have been provided to the Committee or its Sub-Groups. The modalities of the implementation of social partnership agreements in the agencies under the aegis of my Department are a matter for the agencies themselves.
