I hope this doesn’t turn into another H.S.E.

The Labour Relations Commission, National Employment Rights Authority, the Equality Tribunal and some functions of the Employment Appeals Tribunal. I count 4 agencies here while the headline states 5 just wondering?? As regards the article it just goes to show how much money was being squandered in the past as these state quangos were set up as Jobs for the Boys & Girls.

All sounds very well but how many jobs will go?? How much will be saved in co-location and shared services? Only worth doing if going to save the tax payer money and deliver a better service!

Isn’t it very difficult to acknowledge substantial progress made by our Ministers of Government. Congratulation Mr Bruton in a job well started.

It will stop people taking multiple actions with different agencies as part of a tactical assault.
Should help with getting to grips with genuine cases faster.

And they will still employ the same amount of people and all that goes with it !!!

Let’s hope the Minister makes a better fist of this than he did with Competition Law Enforcement in his new Competition Act.
€4 billion per year stolen by Cartelists according to the state but the Minister and his Dept appear hell bent on protecting white collar criminal gangland. This Minister was also responsible for the failed 1996 Competition Act. Why Minister? Just to fool the Troika?

“Complaints are now acknowledged on average, within 5 days of receipt, down from eight months in the past.”

8 MONTHS down to a normal 5 days. Something that took 8 MONTHS can now be done in 5 days. How lazy were these people last year. Oh yeah.. public sector.

And yet no one will lose their job, instead of these civil servants duplicating there work in different offices they will do it in one office
That’s great reform alright !!

Great….now how about actually creating some real jobs for unemployed natives…especially the ignored over 40 a as the make up the bulk of the long term jobless….it’s fantastic that global capital chooses to invest in Ireland but we need to attract some jobs that can utilise the skills of our own people

About time. The waiting times to hear cases are ridiculous

I will believe it all when I see it all ……actually working and saving money. Bruton did not do this on his own, we now have a government who buy in advisors at great expense to the irish people who finally come up with this.
We would be better off to keep the advisors and sack the government. Taken more than a year and Bruton expects a slap on the back. Show me the money that this little bit of advise has cost us.
