Action 20 of the Civil Service Renewal Plan, which is overseen by the Civil Service Management Board, provides for a programme of organisational reviews to embed a culture of regular and objective assessments of the capacity and capability of each Department to achieve its objectives, and take the necessary action to close any gaps.

Preparatory work is at an advanced stage for an Organisational Capability Review of my Department. As part of this work, the terms of reference, and the timeline for the project, are currently being finalised. The Review will be conducted by the Organisational Capability Review team which is based in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
