Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

Sinn Féin supports efficiency and an end to waste and bureaucracy in all sectors, including the public sector. Would the Taoiseach agree that reform and productivity can and should be achieved in co-operation with workers' representatives and not through threats of payoffs? We have the shameful position of Labour Party Ministers speaking about the consequences for public service workers, pay cuts and so on.

Nuair a chuir mé ceist ar an Taoiseach níos luaithe, bhí mé ag lorg freagra soiléir mar chuir mé ceist shoiléir. Tá mé ag cur cúpla ceist shoiléir arís anois. When will the spending review be completed? Will there also be consequences, in terms of pay cuts, for those at the top of the scale? What level of cuts is the Taoiseach seeking from this process?
