I promise this is the final one because it follows on. I loved the last statement in the Secretary General's opening contribution which Deputy O'Connell captured very well. He feels that the performance relationship in terms of actual delivery rather than bonuses is the way to go. What tangible sanctions is he recommending by way of reform for State personnel who may be asleep at the wheel or do not do a good enough job? What tangible sanctions can the public feel are in place if officer A or Secretary General B did not perform? What kind of oversight or recourse will we have in terms of the proposed reforms?
