I will not curse but I am frustrated. I only seek an answer on what is the Department's function in advising on how we should deal with the wastage of each and every one of these regulators, State bodies or whatever one likes to call them. What is the Secretary General's function in advising the Government? Is there a point in time when he says enough is enough? The State Claims Agency must have something to say to him about the claims that will ensue following the actions taken by An Bord Pleanála or does that not happen? Is that aspect not a consideration?
