One of the recommendations of the Task Force Report on the Public Service proposes that county boundaries be adopted for the organisation, delivery and evaluation of services and programmes, to ensure coherence of service delivery at local level.
This Agreement will ensure that the Irish Public Service continues its contribution to the return of economic growth and economic prosperity to Ireland, while delivering excellence in service to the Irish people. This will be done by working together to build an increasingly
integrated Public Service which is leaner and more effective, and focussed more on the needs of
the citizen.

This country has to address probably the biggest challenge to its economic independence it has ever had to face, even though this is now in the context of our membership of the EU and the Eurozone. The Budget will demonstrate to ourselves and to others that we are succeeding in mastering the challenge. It is no time for half-measures, evasion or long-fingering. While others can suggest and propose, or indeed oppose, the Government has the responsibility with the support of the Dáil for taking the measures that the public interest requires at this time.
"The Leadership Challenge of the Twenty Tens:
Agency CEOs Tackle Change Management
and Service Enhancementat a Time of Increased Needs and Reduced Resources"
Hodson Bay Hotel, Thursday 1st October.
The task of national recovery constitutes one of the greatest national challenges of our time. We have suffered a very substantial economic reverse and the consequences are being felt right across our society. There is much legitimate focus on what led to this situation, and an understandable degree of shock and distress especially on the part of those most directly affected. While there is a diversity of views, in summary there is broad agreement that the situation we now face derives from the crystallisation of a number of vulnerabilities of the Irish economy which were known to be individual risk factors, - and which were being addressed - but whose occurrence simultaneously and on this scale, both at home and abroad, was not, and could not have been anticipated.
