Earlier this year the Government published a public consultation process on the future of the civil service and appointed an independent review panel.
That reported back in May and the Government will today announce a three year plan for the renewal of the civil service.
But the coalition looks set to reject a recommendation for the appointment of a head of the civil service, similar to what is in operation in places like the UK, Canada and New Zealand.
Also set to be rejected is any idea for performance related or bonus pay structures in the civil service.
It is expected to include an accountability board that would be chaired by An Taoiseach and have external expertise that would challenge senior management performance in the civil service.
Another measure could see the streamlining of the grade structure in the civil service.
