Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein)

The Comptroller and Auditor General's 2010 report on the public service requires that time be set aside for a debate in the House. Clearly, the contents are serious. The report outlines the effects of the vicious austerity policy pursued by Fianna Fáil and the consequent unemployment, fall in tax revenue and so on. I am sure the Taoiseach is aware of its contents. I ask that time be set aside for a debate on it. It raises matters of concern to public policy issues.
