Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

A fortnight ago the Taoiseach withdrew his election comments about the Croke Park agreement not being implemented, which I wish to acknowledge. It was not made clear from the Taoiseach's reply whether he sees himself as Head of Government having any role in driving this initiative and fostering a positive approach to public service reform. The Taoiseach has removed all the staff in his Department who would have had direct responsibility for this area to another Department. Will the Taoiseach take a personal role in driving this process?
