Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)

It is. This is a serious issue and it is a reflection on the current state of affairs. Like outsourcing, I am not sure that this is the solution. The solution is in our own hands. I join the Deputies who made the point that we would ask the trade union to allow staff to work overtime, to rescind this action and allow the additional staff to come on duty. I thank the Deputies for their contributions.
