Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Mr. Christopher England:

We have had both. Last year, we ran a recruitment drive with advertisements in the walking press and on our Facebook page and website. From that, we had 120 applications to join the team. We whittled that down to the seven who eventually joined the team. We have no great problem with recruitment. It is retention that we have a problem with to be fair. That comes from the level of commitment required and the expense. Recruitment is easy and retention is difficult.
