Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)

The only point I want to make is that he has focused on a culture of profligacy and it is not only in FÁS but right across the public service. That has done the State some service. I agree with Senator O'Toole that trivialising the issue down to a few hundred dollars for one service or another is bringing the public service into disrepute. We need to focus on the broader picture and ensure that we eradicate the waste that is happening right across the public service and inject efficiencies into the system. It is hoped that is what the public service reform initiative will achieve for us.
