Expansion to mean 22 committees in Dáil
The Government yesterday tabled a motion that will lead to a staggering 22 committees being established in this current Dáil.
A week after Tánaiste Brian Cowen announced a “tight” economic situation next year in his Pre-Budget analysis, Government chief whip Tom Kitt revealed yesterday that the Finance Minister had sanctioned the recruitment of an additional 20 research staff for the expanded committee systems.
