Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

As the Deputy will know, in many respects tensions are not always negative. If the effect of them is to impact negatively on morale, that is something worth considering. Work on the White Paper is not yet under way. There will be an opportunity for the reserve and its representatives to have a positive impact in that respect. I have undertaken that account will be taken of its concerns and recommendations prior to the finalisation of the value for money report. There is an acknowledgement that they have concerns and that account will be taken of them.
