Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Staff (5 Feb 2019)

Micheál Martin: As our most instinctively political Taoiseach for many years, the Taoiseach obviously puts significant store on his appointed advisers. He makes sure that he always has at hand a political attack for when he is under pressure. Equally, his political advisers are expected to be very active in looking for marketing opportunities.
