Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I do not want to cut in on the other speakers.

First, some questions I have also put to the Taoiseach have been transferred to other Ministers which robs me of the opportunity of putting those questions directly to an fear féin. Ba mhaith liom "Go n-éirí an t-ádh leat" a rá leis an bhean a ghlacfaidh an post nua seo. There is a question, in terms of trying to open up all of this up, about whether any of these positions or any future senior positions in Government will be publicly advertised. Also, will this new Second Secretary General have responsibility for or in respect of the Economic Management Council and, in particular, how will the Dáil be kept informed of the work of the Economic Management Council?
