Dr. Olive Braiden:
Yes. We had a very long process, which took about a year and a half. It was an international search and I must say that the salary offered was a problem for people coming from abroad. However, we were very happy with two people on our list, and the board approved those. The first candidate changed her mind when she considered the difficulty of moving to Ireland and the salary being paid. We were very happy to move to the second candidate, who absolutely suited what we needed.
