Staff are not so engaged. In performing my functions as Taoiseach, I am always mindful of the requirements in the code of conduct for office holders, including the requirement that official facilities should be used only for official purposes. I expect all Ministers and Ministers of State to be equally mindful of this requirement and I recently wrote to them to remind them of this in the context of the forthcoming European Parliament and local elections.
