Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 February 2015
260. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform 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. [7961/15]
View answerIn response to the Deputy's question I can confirm that my Department, and the Offices under my aegis, have little or no direct contact with members of the public. Despite this, it is a well-established policy of my Department that all officers supply their names in any dealings with the public. I would have no objection to this idea but consultations with my colleagues, staff and trade unions would have to take place before consideration could be given to implementing this step.
