Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I'll just make this observation now, and I don't have, you know, detailed evidence of it, but I would think that while the current Government is being criticised for setting up an Economic Management Council, which myself and former Tánaiste Gilmore put in place, it did mean that there was regular discussions between the parties in government and the Departments about issues of the day that were critical, and God knows, we had enough of these over the last number of years, particularly in the early part. I would be maybe concerned that there wasn't the level of engagement, you know, driven from the top between the Departments and, therefore, the necessary ... the appropriate senior civil servants. I'd like to have seen more of that because you have that now. If there's something going on, people are always engaged to, kind of, deal with the challenge, or whatever the issue might be.
