PUBLIC SECTOR REFORM IN IRELAND - MUIRIS MACCAR...

This book provides a thematic case-study analysis of the wide-ranging public sector reforms
introduced in one of the states most deeply affected by the global financial crisis: the
Republic of Ireland. It presents a timely and apposite examination of how a crisis can be used
to overcome barriers and facilitate new reform agendas. The study draws upon unique insider
access to the centre of Irish government  as well as interviews with over 60 key figures  to
examine the implementation of those reforms over the 2011-16 period. The book opens with a
contextual analysis of the creation of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
Subsequent chapters explore the process of shrinking the Irish state  renegotiating the
political-administrative bargain  expenditure reforms  administrative culture reforms  and
political reforms. This rich 'in action' study of a reform agenda undertaken during a period of
crisis will appeal not only to students of executive politics  cutback management and public
sector reform  but also to practitioners seeking to implement administrative reforms.
