Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

If I can answer the Deputy's question, there is no general policy that says just because a post is vacant, it is gone. There is a general requirement for any organisation in the public service to look at its overall posts. I am not talking about the specific post raised by the Deputy. We said we would give the Deputy a specific answer to her specific question. There is a general requirement on us, on behalf of the public, to use the resources and to look at posts and reprioritise posts from time to time. That always works out well and is positively received by whoever we reprioritise a post in favour of and never by those who we reprioritse it against. That is the general reality of living in a constrained resource environment.
