I believe so, yes. I will refer to my note. Revenue is currently engaged in running open competitions at assistant principal level for a panel of tax professionals and two ICT specialists. These competitions have been advertised nationally and on the Public Appointment Service website. Recruitment competitions for principal officer, data analyst, administrative officer, compliance and ICT, and Executive Officer, compliance, are planned for the first six months of 2015. The number of posts to be filled will depend on critical vacancies arising, projected business needs and the number of posts that can be filled through redeployment and from internal promotion panels. Overall, Revenue expects to fill around 400 posts from open competitions that have been advertised in 2014 and 2015. All of Revenue's open competitions will be advertised nationally. That does not exactly answer the Deputy's question. At the end of 2014 there were 140 temporary staff in addition to the figures given already.
