Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:

They are full-time, but in addition, it is important to note that in total there are somewhere between 900 and 1,000 staff in the Department who have some dimension of control activity. Our inspectorate is involved in this work, as are those involved in the community welfare service and those involved in taking information and claims.
