Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed)
5:00 pm
Tom Barry (Cork East, Fine Gael)
The total number of employees in the public service increased rapidly from 295,000 to 347,000 between 2000 and 2010 or by an astonishing 18%. Strangely, during this period, I did not hear any Minister or senior public servant crying, "Halt".
