Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)

I am not misleading the House.

Of course there is disappointment with the procurement process that certain applicants who tendered were not successful. I understand this point. People have raised issues with regard to staffing. As I already stated, these staff are public servants. There is no question of forced redundancy in the public sector, contrary to the rumours often put out that everybody will lose their jobs.
