Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)

Ba mhaith liom aontú leis an Seanadóir Ó Clochartaigh maidir le hOifig an Choimisinéara Teanga, but I will not go further than that because I accept what the Minister has said.

As a prelude to my question, the Minister and I have spoken privately in the past about many of these issues, including the public service. I will not say we are ad idem but there would be very little between us as regards the surgery and what needed to be done. The Minister will know we have had a conversation and I remind him of it. I have four questions. I am disappointed with this document but I have been a critic of the Croke Park Agreement from the time my own party introduced it last year. I think it is a smokescreen for doing very little. The savings are very minuscule. A total of €2.5 million-----
