Vote 1 - President's Establishment
Vote 2 - Department of the Taoiseach

Mr. Martin Fraser:
It is a very long report, but, in summary, the SCU was taking away from the core priorities of the Department of the Taoiseach. We have many reasonably important things to do and people were talking about nothing other than the SCU. In addition, I was of the opinion that we were losing the trust of people who might need to trust the Civil Service in the future.
