Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence
Review of Workplace Arrangements: Department of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Joe Hackett:
As for the behaviour of staff, the discipline of staff internally, the way the Department is administered and organised under the Public Service Management Act is a matter for the Secretary General, not the Minister. That is why the review focused on the behaviour of staff of the Department and why I led on the report and its terms of reference.
