Bernard Durkan
Question:44. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the extent to which his programme of savings throughout the public sector to date remains on target with particular reference to the dual and sometimes conflicting needs to cut expenditure and maintain services; if he will set out those areas which to date have achieved the best results in this regard; the areas and or sectors which require further attention; if he remains satisfied that the twin objectives of reducing public expenditure in line with budgetary and Troika requirements as entered into by his predecessors and the need to maintain frontline services continue to be achievable; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
