I launched the Civil Renewal Plan along with the Taoiseach on 30th October last. The Plan outlines a vision for the Civil Service and practical changes that will create a more unified, professional, responsive, open and accountable Civil Service, providing a world-class service to the State and to the people of Ireland. All of the actions in the Plan are to be implemented over the next three years and the Plan sets out six priorities for completion within 6 months. Establishing an Accountability Board for the Civil Service for the first time is one such priority and preparatory work is underway to progress this priority. The Board will be chaired by the Taoiseach and balanced with ministerial, Civil Service and external membership.
