Mr. Tony O'Brien:

All of the staff have been replaced. There are about 170 staff in total at Áras Attracta against 100 clients. Having to appropriately remove 13 of them in this case is a significant challenge for a unit in a relatively remote location. With the assistance of other service providers within the HSE and funded agencies and through some direct recruitment, we have at this point been in a position to maintain staffing in the facility. I am always conscious when referring to this that there is tonight a significant number of staff who are not implicated in this issue, who are working and providing much-needed care in that facility and in many others around the country.
