Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Bill 2011: Committee Stage
4:00 am
Thomas Byrne (Fianna Fail)
On consideration of substantial amendments, I reject the Minister of State's criticism. We are seeking a list to set out the functions of the new Department. The Government has argued it will work differently but is that the reality? The amendment does not go further and I did not claim that it did. If people want to target the Department on the basis of the information they get in order to judge performance, that is well and good but we must get that list. There may be people involved in litigation or particular areas of society who need such information.
