Economic reasons for recruitment delays

Summary

Hyland suggested recruitment delays were driven by economics, which Dukes rejected as a fanciful separate question. The Ceann Comhairle then moved the House to Question No. 7.

Would the Minister accept that the real reason they were not recruited is one of economics rather than anything else?

Comment on this

That is a separate question and with all due respect to the Deputy it is one of the more fanciful questions I have ever heard in this House.

Would the Minister get on to Question No. 7, please.

Comment on this

It is reality and the Minister knows it.
