asked the Minister for the Public Service the names of the bank and the insurance company covered in the study of public and private sector decision-making published by the Institute of Public Administration recently and funded by his Department.

The case studies of middle management decision-making in the private sector in the research study referred to were in a branch office of Allied Irish Banks Limited from November 1982 to February 1983 and the claims department of the Insurance Corporation of Ireland from March 1984 to May 1984.
