Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I have sympathy with what Deputy Ó Cuív indicated and since I became Minister I have tried to implement what Deputies Ó Cuív and Humphreys have suggested. However, the people in the Department may be the same as those who were there in Deputy Ó Cuív's time. We have not yet got political buy-in on this matter that would allow me to make the changes they advocate.
