Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

I think I detect a snore from the bench of Deputy Conor Lenihan. If the greater part of the cost relates to the cost of back-up staff and servicing the staff does this give the Taoiseach cause for pause in terms of displacing the top tiers of the Civil Service to different locations around the country. How are Government and key Departments to do their business if key senior personnel have been displaced to Knock, Donegal or wherever?
