One of the key points made was about the cost of local government. Since 2008, the number of people who have left local government across all sectors is 7,500. The amount of money that has been saved is about €350 million; that is the benefit in terms of the wages that do not have to be paid. However, the 7,500 represent 30% of the total workforce that have left the public sector, even though local authority employment makes up only 10% of total employment across the public sector. There have been significant efficiencies in local government, but there has been a considerable reduction in staff compared to the public sector as a whole. That is an important point.
