Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

I can check that for the Deputy but I am not aware that it is widespread. We have not closed down many institutions. In fact, the position is the opposite, as the Deputy knows. We were operating within employment control frameworks, ECFs. We are only returning to recruitment now generally and we are now moving to having a bit more freedom on employment but within particular budgets. It is not that we have supernumeraries sitting around the place. These were engaged in work but they were above the numbers allocated to the institution.
