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:

We have about 150 to 250 people in the Votes sections. They would have a background in business, finance, accountancy, economics and a variety of other areas. They would be career civil servants who worked in many different areas. They would have qualifications or could be specialists brought in. It would depend.
