The Department of the Environment, Community and Local
Government has published its Action Plan under the Croke
Park Public Sector Agreement for the local authority sector.
Each local authority is also drawing up its own individual action
plan with a view to finalising these by the end of April. The
collated plans for all 34 local authorities are then to accompany
the plan published by the Department. The
Department's plan is intended to represent the specific
efficiencies and productivity measures which local authority
management will implement at sectoral level under the second
reporting period of the Agreement. The plan deals with issues
such as restructuring, shared services, procurement, e-Government,
redeployment, productivity and performance. The plan is
available to view here.
