Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 February 2015
254. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Finance his views on the proposal to require all public sector workers under the aegis of his Department who interface with service users to wear a name badge; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8657/15]
View answerIn response to the Deputy's question I am not aware of a proposal to require all public sector workers under the aegis of my Department who interface with service users to wear a name badge. In the interest of improving customer service standards I am open to consideration of such a proposal. As the Deputy will be aware some bodies under my aegis, have little or no direct contact with members of the public while others interface regularly. I expect all bodies under the Aegis of my Department to provide the highest standards of customer service in all dealings with customers. However, consultations with my colleagues, staff, trade unions and the bodies concerned would have to take place to progress such a proposal.
