Monday 28 July 2014 16.35 Minister for Justice Frances Fitzgerald has published a review of her department, which was launched in May on foot of the findings of the Guerin Report.
Today's report found issues regarding a closed and secretive culture as well as significant leadership and management problems.
It also found ineffective management processes and structures to provide strong strategic oversight of the key agencies both to hold them accountable and to ensure their effectiveness is maximised.
The report found that relationships with key agencies tended to be informal without strong central management from the department.
The report recommended a programme for fundamental and sustained organisational and cultural change and renewal.
It called for a change in the leadership and management routines, systems and practices to underpin both the performance of the department and key agencies.
The report sought a change in the scope and approach of the Management Advisory Committee to provide better strategic management and support.
A structured approach to how agencies and key relationships are managed is also recommended.
The Secretary General at the Department of Justice, Brian Purcell, has offered to be reassigned to other duties in the public service.
The Guerin Report, published earlier this year, looked into allegations made by Sgt Maurice McCabe that gardaí had not investigated serious crimes properly.
That report was critical of the Department of Justice, the gardaí and then minister for justice Alan Shatter.
It found that there had been no detailed assessment within the Department of Justice of any allegations made by Sgt McCabe or of the responses received from the garda commissioner.
In early June, the minister appointed the chief executive of Dublin Airport Authority, Kevin Toland, to chair the review of the Department of Justice.
The review group was tasked with assessing concerns set out by Mr Guerin in respect of the department's governance and oversight of external organisations.
The review group also includes former attorney general David Byrne and former chief inspector of the garda inspectorate Kathleen O'Toole.
The other members are Geraldine Tallon, former secretary general of the Department of the Environment; accountant Greg Sparks; and Pat McLoughlin, former chief executive of the Irish Payment Services Organisation.
