Seán Fleming (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I asked specifically about sunset clauses. The Ceann Comhairle knows that, even on the second attempt to respond by the Minister, there was still no reference to the sunset clause issue. The phrase has not come out of the Minister's mouth here today. I expect that he will probably answer on the third attempt and I look forward to receiving that answer. The Minister is responsible for public expenditure and reform and the public service generally. He and the Taoiseach issued a document last year on how he was reforming the public service. If he is telling me he is not answerable for the public service other than for the few officials in his Department, he should say so and change the title of his Department to reflect his responsibilities.
