I will not press the Minister of State on this matter as I suspect it is primarily the responsibility of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Brendan Howlin. Before proceeding to deal with other issues, however, I reject entirely the Minister of State's explanation for the 5% shortfall. According to the briefing note provided by the Department, staff who left the Civil Service this year are covered by subhead A4.
