First, I am assuming the figures for the reductions of staff numbers and the €3.4 billion in payroll savings, 17.7%, are not net of pension payments, lumps sums, gratuities and so on but gross. If they are net, when one does the maths, the savings do not seem as spectacular.
Will the Minister be advancing a programme through the Civil Service and public service which will see the reduction of 10,000 posts between now and 2015?
