That is the personal view of Mr. Fraser as a civil servant, as per the code of conduct and so on. I get that. However, there are only X amount of civil servants and such announcements are not made to inform them but the public. Is it reasonable to say the words a "Government of Ireland initiative", as opposed to a Revenue Commissioners initiative, a Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection initiative or a Road Safety Authority initiative, would confer the impression that there was political ownership of it?
