More Work, Less Perks
Politics must change. Extravagance and waste cannot be tolerated. Performance and accountability must be at the heart of politics and the public service.
As a start, we have
• Increased the Dáil working time by over 50%.
• Reduced the pay of the Taoiseach, Ministers and public service chiefs
• Abolished State cars and cut political expenses
• Cleared out the directors of banks
• FÁS and the HSE are being broken up
We are determined to:
• Abolish 48 quangos in 2012, and review 46 more
• Ask the people to abolish the Seanad
