About the Department
Review Group on State Assets and Liabilities
The Review Group on State Assets and Liabilities was recently established by the Minister for Finance to examine and provide advice on the proper stewardship of state assets and on opportunities for the better use of those assets. The Group will carry out its analysis in the coming months and report to the Minister by the end of the year. As part of this, the Group will consult closely with those Government departments and State bodies that have oversight of the relevant assets (including commercial semi-state companies and regulators).
The Group is also seeking submissions from other interested parties by way of public consultation. Cuireadh chun aighneachtaÍ a DhÉanamh
