What Government communications are there, then? If the Government wants to say something, this is confusing. It looks like smoke and mirrors. The same people are involved, they are not allowed to speak about X and they should speak about Y. They comprise the Government communications unit, yet there will be no more communications. The perception is that, while the €5 million might be gone, this unit still exists and all communication is being streamlined through it, with many of its people still on staff.
