Mr. Robert Watt:

We can disagree on this, maybe. You have asked my honest view. I have spoken to many potential candidates. They have cited Dáil committees and the way they have seen people treated in the media as a reason not to take on certain roles. Deputy Deasy and I might think that nonsensical and that they need to grow up and whatever else but that is the view. Therefore, there is a challenge for us in terms of the offering and in terms of pay and the risks around the roles. We need to work through this and think about how we are going to address it in future because it is a challenge for us.
