I knew representatives of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform were coming at noon. I would really like to see some progress on this. In a sense, two arms of Government are contradicting each other. On the one hand, Government is saying get jobs going, help business start-ups, protect small rural towns and villages, but on the other it is asking to save as much as possible. I get the impression the witnesses do not have a great sense of whether the system has actually saved money for the State or not.
