John Bruton
Ceist:13 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Taoiseach if the revised edition of the Government Procedure Instructions has been completed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17576/98]
Ceisteanna — Questions. - Government Procedure Instructions.
The draft text is currently with the printers. Production is expected to be completed shortly and publication will follow as soon as it can be arranged.
Will the Taoiseach indicate the significant changes that have been made in the instructions as a result of this revision?
I do not think there have been many major changes. The revision principally consolidates existing matters relating to office holders, Departments, party leaders and others. It does not involve any fundamental changes.
That is good to know.
If there are, they have not been highlighted to me.
I thought the Taoiseach had written them himself.
Unfortunately not.
