Corporate Governance Framework

Good governance is central to the effective operation of the Department of the Taoiseach. It ensures that a framework of structures, policies and processes is in place to deliver on our statutory and policy obligations and it facilitates an objective assessment of management and corporate performance.

In keeping with the new arrangements for governance and accountability set out in the Civil Service Renewal Plan, this Governance Framework is intended as a guide to everyone in the Department of the Taoiseach, and to the people we serve, on how we do our work and why we do it in the way we do. It also sets out our standards of conduct, our values and the governance systems by which we operate.
