Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:

We have concluded a competition that was advertised before the end of last year and will be immediately going back to market to look to recruit. As soon as we get them, we lose them. It is a difficult job. There is a lot of work to be done. We have an agenda to increase that amount of work so we are having to look at other ways to supplement our cadre and that is what we are doing at the moment.
