Éamon Ó Cuív (FF), Galway West

A written reply I received on the issue of the gratuities seemed to give me a lot more information than is available here today. I cannot understand how these processes go on as long as they do. There has been a failure by successive Governments to reform the system in order to ensure there are quicker decisions. In fact, if anything, things have been getting slower and slower over my period in the House. That is a matter of concern. The answers always seem to be inevitable but the processes seem to be a lot longer and a lot more convoluted, with much less satisfaction from them as a consequence.
