Mr. Gordon Jeyes:

Any time resources are tight, it is incumbent on public servants to prioritise efficiently, show there is no waste in the system and be accountable for the money they have been given by the Irish taxpayer. In light of where Ireland remains in 2014, prioritisation will be required. Having worked through the boom years when Governments were handing out money, I suggest we should always need to prioritise and make sure we are spending in an efficient and cost-effective way.
