Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I return to my Question No. 1, which refers to non-established civil servants and contract staff. Question No. 2 refers to special political advisers or other staff employed by the Taoiseach, his Ministers of State and his Department. The latter question specifically asks if changes are planned in respect of those personnel. The Taoiseach has effectively confirmed that the Government has made decisions this morning concerning the employment, recruitment, replacement, pay and conditions of public servants generally. What are those decisions? They clearly concern the staff which are the subject of these questions. My question specifically asks about changes in regard to those personnel.
