To ask the Minister for Finance further to Parliamentary Question No. 237 of 4 December 2012, if he will provide a list of all new services across his Department that have been tested for external service delivery since March 2011. [55431/12]

As the Deputy will be aware my Department is policy focused and does not have a large number of transactional staff and as such my Department does not immediately lend itself to external service delivery. My Department has not introduced any new service since March 2011. Notwithstanding the nature of activity in my Department they are working closely with their colleagues in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in relation to the Banking and Accounting , Human Resources and Payroll Shared Services Projects which may offer an opportunity for some external service delivery.
