Martin Mansergh (Fianna Fail)

I do not know what was Senator O'Meara's experience as a special adviser but when it comes to an issue such as unemployment, there are any number of expert group reports published. The real difficulty is getting to read them all. In the economic and social area, particularly because of the social partnership process, there is no shortage of advisory group reports. To be fair, the Government publishes most of these, unless they relate to consultancy or have a substantial commercial content. However, one must have some regard to simplicity of administration.
