Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2008: Second Stage
6:00 pm
Martin Brady (Fianna Fail)
No change appears to have been made. If I operate a business, I would integrate sections to achieve efficiencies, value for money or a better work environment for my staff. However, I would not promote people to make them happy or if they refused to move. I would like to know what grades are involved and which staff are to become civil servants. I ask for this clarification because I have concerns about the matter.
We are not getting value for money from a number of agencies. I have observed notices in the windows of some agency offices stating that opening hours have been restricted due to cutbacks. As nobody is asking questions about their behaviour, the agencies are doing what they like.
