The Deputy in his question refers to Appendix IIa of the Public Service Reform Document. In Appendix IIa only one proposal is listed under the heading Department of Finance/Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. That proposal was to merge the Commission on Public Service Appointments (CPSA) with the Ombudsman’s Office. The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform has advised my Department that this merger has been completed and is legislated for in the Ombudsman (Amendment) Act 2012.
