Ceist:139 Mr. Deasy asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the extent of dissatisfaction among engineers employed by local authorities regarding the reorganisation of these bodies which may result in qualified engineers being answerable to unqualified public servants; if he will ensure that the highly qualified status of people such as engineers will at least be retained in the reorganisation of services; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
