Ms Mary Higgins:

It is not our intention to do that. As Mr. O'Callaghan said, we are very conscious of the fact it is survivors' money. It is a fund for survivors. It was the Houses of the Oireachtas that decided that all the administrative costs should come out of the fund. I wish it was not the case but it is. It is our job to operate within the law and that is what we have to do. It is not our intention to keep going forever. It is not what we want to do. We have no staff on contracts. My contract will finish next year. The members will probably be glad to hear that. Everybody else is on specified purpose contracts so it is not as if we are permanent members of the Civil Service or Caranua. It is not our intention to keep going forever. When the new board gets down to its business, one of the first things it will look at is setting a closing date and announcing that so that people will begin to understand that it will not be there forever. That will help to mobilise people towards us. I know people apply and then do not come back to us.
