    Major cuts at DoI as government seeks £5m savings
    Published online at 13/05/2014 12:35:00

    A package of cutbacks including compulsory job losses is on the cards at the Department of Infrastructure, as it faces a £5 million reduction in its budget.

    Minister Laurence Skelly has outlined the scale of savings he must find in the current year - as the department prepares to make a major contribution to re balancing the government's books.

    In the past three years more than 100 full-time posts have gone at the DoI.

    Staff are being offered further voluntary resignations but Mr Skelly says compulsory redundancies cannot be ruled out.

    The department's now considering which taxpayer-funded services could in future be run privately but says no decisions have been made yet.

    Mr Skelly says an immense challenge lies ahead:

    You are assuming that there will be money left for contractors?

    Ahhh, were you being driven around at the time WilDDog? I glanced over in your direction briefly and thought to myself "Was that WilDDog?" but there wasn't enough time to be sure. Plus, I'd had a few the night before, my vision was still blurry.

     

    Yep I was being driven around :)
