Departmental Functions (20 Jul 2011)

Gerry Adams: So far I have failed miserably, although not through lack of effort. The Taoiseach will be pleased to know, however, that I do not intend to give up. Why is there a 14% increase in salaries, wages and allowances in the Department of the Taoiseach between 2010 and the projected figure for 2011?
