Mr. Noel Waters:

It is a personal matter, but I will help the Deputy as best I can. I had been in charge of the immigration service for several years, as I indicated. It is a very large area of the Department, with approximately 600 staff. We were doing some really good things in developing immigration services, making useful changes, introducing new policies and so on. I felt that work needed to be continued and that I was best placed to manage it. That was where I saw my career at that point.
