Following the publication of the Indecon Report in July 2014, Bord na gCon submitted an action plan with timelines for implementing the 27 recommendations in the Indecon Report dealing with governance, finance, regulation and welfare. This action plan has been published on the Bord na gCon website.

Bord na gCon has assured my Department that it has assiduously followed up on the undertakings included in its response to the Indecon Report.
