Mr. Maurice Mullen:

We have not specifically done that because we must be able to persuade the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in respect of the case and be able to demonstrate that we have gone through every possibility and show that what we say stands up. That is why the detailed analysis is taking place. Before it goes to the Minister and any decisions are made, all the different elements of it have to be set out. They include the different costs and approaches that are possible and they must be set out for the Minister and pass muster with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. Only it can sanction at this stage the additional posts on the basis that where there is an emergency post, it can identify it. The fact that we are holding these types of review confirms that we are looking to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform for various posts to be filled. That is why these are part of the process.
