- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Public Service Reform: Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (19 Feb 2014)
Seán Fleming: I accept that. I spoke about abolishing quangos as it was a key test of the strength of the Government. The Minister is quite correct.
