Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I hope that when the Government's team goes to New York it will be able to deal with that. We showed the Government last week how it could deliver massive savings by overhauling the budgetary process into which this State has been locked for many years.

I asked a senior Minister yesterday how much he had lost out of his Department. He said that the problem in his Department was that he had been unable to get the associated quangos and agencies to cut administrative costs. I said that the Minister is appointed to do that but the Government has not tackled that problem.
