Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

Why did the Minister set up this huge structure in the first place? It is the equivalent of building a house and adding lots of rooms before subsequently removing those same rooms. What is needed is a simple but effective management structure where there is clarity as to who is in charge, instead of throwing up a general plan to take out personnel. Any changes should be focused in such a way that there will ultimately be a structure under which everybody can understand precisely who is responsible for what.
