Mr. Niall Cody:

Not in my period. We went through the period of the recruitment embargo in the Civil Service, during which we went from 6,600 full-time equivalents in 2008 to 5,700 in 2012. We are now back at over 6,000. The challenge is that we are also losing a lot of people to retirement because of the age profile of the organisation. It is a challenge to lose experienced people and to integrate, train and develop new people. That is the biggest challenge facing me in my period as chairman.
