The Local Government Audit Service / Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General Critical Review Group will hold its first meeting on Tuesday, 26 June 2012. The members of the Review Group are:

Pat McLoughlinChief Executive, Irish Payment Services Organisation. (Chairman)
Des DowlingDepartment of Environment, Community & Local Government
Noel O'ConnellLocal Government Audit Service
Marie McLaughlinDepartment of Public Expenditure & Reform
Paul RyanDepartment of Finance
Andy HarknessOffice of the Comptroller & Auditor General

The Group will undertake a critical review in accordance with the policy on rationalisation of State agencies set out in the Public Service Reform Plan. The timeframe for the completion of a report will be considered by the Group at its inaugural meeting. I expect that this will be expedited to the greatest extent possible.
