Taoiseach Enda Kenny with winners of the Taoiseach’s Public Service Excellence Awards 2012

 

Taoiseach Enda Kenny today presented Public Service Excellence Awards to twenty projects from across the Public Service. 

The Awards, coordinated by the Reform and Delivery Office in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, were preceded by a showcase conference in Dublin Castle conference centre, where the successful projects were presented to an audience of some 300 public servants. 

The Public Service Excellence Awards are held every two years to recognise innovation and best practice in public service administration and service delivery.

The Taoiseach said:

"I am delighted to present the Taoiseach’s Public Service Excellence Awards.  These Awards recognise and reward projects and initiatives that enhance efficiency, quality and effectiveness of public services.  They showcase what is best in the Public Service.

I believe that the changes that this Government is putting in place will make for a smarter and better public service, better equipped to deliver top quality public services.
