Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

Can the Taoiseach explain the background to the increase in 2006 in the cost of political advisers? I asked about the next matter before but I will do so again because it continues to grow in urgency. Does the Taoiseach intend to at least beef up the advice he gets on climate change? The New Zealand Prime Minister has stated climate change to be similar to the threat of a nuclear holocaust during the Cold War.
