Mr. David Moloney:

There are two aspects to that. First, there was legislation in 2005 that effectively expanded the remit of the disciplinary process we have been talking about to Secretaries General. That was the Civil Service Regulation (Amendment) Act. It effectively brought Secretaries General into the net. The extent to which they are in the net is limited in the way I discussed with Deputy Mairéad Farrell because the nature of the appointment by the Government precludes certain of the steps. We are currently examining the Civil Service Regulation (Amendment) Act in terms of how we see disciplinary matters working broadly within the Civil Service. I do not believe we specifically intend for it to address Secretaries General at this point.
