Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

I will put it like this: if I look back on 2014 to now, it is only very recently in the last couple of weeks that we actually have anywhere close to a full complement management team. It was not until January of this year that we actually had a fully functioning executive. That is nobody's fault here. The reality is what we have had to do since 2014 is build up a team and build up an effective team. In any organisation going through the type of deep structural change, cultural change and reform we are going through, there will always be tensions within teams. Our job is to make sure we pull together that team into a cohesive, effective team and I am confident we are doing that. I am confident that the members of the team supported by the appropriate skill sets will be in a position to continue to provide that effective leadership.
