No part of the Civil Service or any semi-State body has been identified to me as having a higher incidence than the average figure or the norm. Any case that is proved does not reflect well on our work in ensuring there is dignity in the workplace. As I said, one case is one too many. My Department and I want to ensure anybody who comes to work in the Civil Service or elsewhere is treated with the dignity and respect he or she deserves. I am confident that this happens in the overwhelming majority of cases. Any example of where this policy is not applied should be and will be dealt with fairly and seriously. Anybody who comes to work for any part of the State deserves to be treated fairly and professionally and have his or her human dignity respected.
