Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Bill 2002: Second Stage.

 

There is an inference that we would dilute the quantity and quality of work normally associated with these posts. Those who work at that level in these Houses – I have known them for 17 years – act above and beyond what is expected of them in terms of hours. I hope the Minister of State will distance himself from the implication that they work below par. He is blessed, unfortunately, with the most solid advice on this legislation. I spent 16 years arguing with them and have yet to win an argument. Unfortunately, I am worried about it.
