Mr. Noel Waters:

The Deputy is putting me in slight difficulty here. I have not said that I did not want the job. Again, it is a matter entirely for the Minister and what she sees fit. On the original competition, she has indicated that she believed that perhaps the time was not right, given the controversies which had arisen and all the issues that had fallen out of that, and that it was a difficult position - which I can attest to. It was a difficult position, and perhaps in those circumstances people who otherwise might have come forward did not. She has indicated that at some future point she will decide what to do in terms of approaching the appropriate authorities to hold a new competition.
