Is that not ironic? His big claim for the virtue of selling State assets was the deal he had hatched with the troika to invest in job creation. It would be something of a turnaround were he to access the money for a voluntary redundancy scheme. I raise the issue because it is a marked departure from what he has been saying about the use of proceeds from the sale of State assets. Has the matter been discussed at Cabinet or is it just the Minister's personal view?
