Among the announced reforms is the streamlining of disciplinary procedures to make it easier to terminate under-performing civil servants. An independent expert group chaired by Professor Kevin Rafter from DCU made two key recommendations for civil service reform. One of the recommendations taken up and included in the Civil Service Renewal Plan is the establishment of an accountability board to enable oversight over all government departments and senior management. This board will be chaired by the Taoiseach. The expert panel’s recommendation for a head of the civil service to be appointed has been turned down by the Government. Furthermore, open recruitment for senior management positions in the civil service has been extended for all positions for Assistant Principals and above. The Plan also aims to open up the civil service to younger generations.
