131 Deputy Jim O’Keeffe asked the Minister for Finance if the report of the independent review panel chaired by a person (details supplied) which has now been completed will be published; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2828/11]

As the Deputy is aware, the Report provides a set of recommendations relating to structures, resources and processes in the Department. While a number of recommendations are matters for Government after proper consideration, a significant number relate to working structures, staffing and work practices and can be addressed in the Department. Work on an implementation plan has already commenced within the Department. The Report will be considered by Government in the first instance and then published.
