Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I do not mind how the questions are grouped. I was listening to the discussion earlier and I wish the Minister and his Department well in these talks. I wish to examine a particular angle. Is any work being done in respect of sectoral-specific challenges within the public service, where vacancies cannot be filled? For example, is there any focus on vacancies in health and disability services? Those vacancies are causing major deficiencies in the delivery of public services. We cannot currently fill them because of pay and also because of other issues, and I believe this provides the opportunity to do that.
