Conor Lenihan (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)

Senior officials are at an advanced stage of negotiations with their counterparts in the Department of Finance regarding development specialists to find a way through this industrial relations imbroglio, which affects technical grades throughout the Civil Service. I am confident this problem will be overcome and the development specialists, who are absolutely essential to the delivery of this programme, will be glad to travel to Limerick.
