Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Bill 2011: Committee Stage
3:00 am
Darragh O'Brien (Fianna Fail)
On a point of clarification, I thank the Minister of State for her response to my question. I used the example of Anglo Irish Bank to seek clarification on this position. I take it the Minister of State is saying that the only companies the Minister for public expenditure and reform will have control of or responsibility for are ones where the State holds the shares and the employees have public sector pensions, and that this will be position in all cases. Those companies will be ones in which there are public sector workers with public sector pensions and that there are no other companies, of which there is full State ownership, over which the Minister will have control unless the employees are in the public sector. Is that correct?
