Reflecting that this Report marks the conclusion of the Commission’s work programme and the expiry of its current mandate, Minister Donohoe said: ‘On behalf of the Government, I would like to thank most sincerely Chair, Kevin Duffy, and the Commission members for their unstinting commitment over the last three years and for their invaluable and incisive input across a range of deeply complex and challenging issues. The independent evidence based output of the Commission has been of great assistance to the Government and the parties to the Public Service Stability Agreement. I would also like to acknowledge the contributions of all those who contributed to the work of the Commission, including public service management and staff representatives’.
