Ms Josephine Feehily:

I cannot say there was none but there was not much. Working from memory, it was advertised at the back end of 2011 by the Public Appointments Service in the normal way. My recollection is that there was not much interest. I discussed the matter at the time with the head of that office and I know that she engaged in a certain amount of encouragement and made use of various executive search tools. She assured me that she had spread the word through the various channels her office uses to encourage applicants.
