To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will detail whether any surveys have been carried out to estimate the amount of time taken up with administrative tasks where such time could be used more efficiently; if so, in which areas of the Department has this examination been carried out; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My Department has not conducted general surveys that would estimate the amount of time taken up with administrative tasks, where that time could be used more efficiently. One of the key Strategic goals, Organisational Excellence and Innovation, in the Department’s current Statement of Strategy, outlines the Department's commitment to innovation and improving its systems. This includes objectives such as building the Department's capacity in the areas of digital, data and technology, human resource allocation and project management. Intended outcomes include team and skill alignment with business objectives, and improved service delivery. The 2023-2025 Statement of Strategy, which is presently being revised, is accessible at www.gov.ie/en/publication/70e6d-statement-of-strategy-2021-2023/.
