My final question was on the size of the analytical team. I think my question on training has been answered. What is the IHREC's analytical capacity from both qualitative and quantitative perspectives? How many members of its staff can look at the departmental analyses and subsequently tell this committee that, for example, the Departments of Education and Skills and Public Expenditure and Reform are spot on, but the social welfare analysis is wrong because it does not include cuts to public services?
