Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

My question derives from the Taoiseach's experience in his Department. The decentralisation programme is not happening in the Department of the Taoiseach. It will not be delivered. It is damaging the Civil Service. It is duplicating buildings. It is creating a parallel Civil Service. Does the Taoiseach agree that we should go back to the drawing board for a negotiated and planned programme of voluntary decentralisation?
