Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform
Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion with Civic Society Representatives
10:05 am
Mr. John Dolan:
Public service reform is key and useful, particularly in terms of our interests. The horrid issues are between public bodies and entities. The Croke Park agreement, 2:1 cuts to tax and demographics go against us. Even if Ireland miraculously recovered in the morning, we would be out of the game unless we could find some way to deal with those issues.
