I am referring to the tables on page six of the document. One of the savings, which is in pay, is €3 million. It states that one of the factors giving rise to the saving or underspend is slower-than-expected filling of vacancies. What is the issue there? One would have thought that in the current climate it would not be difficult to fill vacancies. How is that affecting the workload of the people who are there at present?
