I congratulate the Minister of State, Deputy Calleary, who faces a great challenge. It speaks loudly of the commitment of the Government and, in particular, the Taoiseach that he has given the Minister of State responsibility for public service reform in his Department. I ask the Leader to arrange for the Minister of State to come to the Seanad at his earliest possible convenience.
