Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Matters relating to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform: Discussion

Mr. Robert Watt:

I do not disagree with what Senator Horkan is saying. I stated that there is not a generalised recruitment challenge. That is not to say there are not specific issues. I do not know teaching as well as the Senator does but I have heard that there are problems in certain areas. The Senator mentioned some of them, such as technical areas, science, languages, etc.
