As the Deputy will be aware, my Department has prepared a Croke Park Action Plan, which sets out actions and efficiency measures for the Department and the bodies funded from its Vote Group to end-2014. Details of progress, efficiencies and savings arising from the implementation of that Plan can be accessed through the link below:

I should say that progress on the implementation of this Plan is monitored and reviewed regularly, and delivery on each of the actions is on target. The Deputy will, of course, note that the progress reports mentioned above outline the plans for further reforms and savings which my Department and the bodies funded from its Vote Group Plan expect to make over the coming period.
