Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I refer to comments made in July by the Government making a commitment to reduce the public service bill by 3% by the end of 2009. I note the Taoiseach has employed a non-Civil Service economic adviser in his own Department at an obvious cost to the taxpayer. May I take it that the 3% reduction in payroll will apply to both Civil Service and non-Civil Service staff?
