I will help Dr. Murphy. The question was put. Dr. Murphy was asked if people had retired and come back to work and he said:

Up to this academic year, we did not. However, in the context of industrial action by the Teachers Union of Ireland, under which it basically instructed its members to engage in no overtime whatsoever, there have been a number of cases in which, because of the specialised nature of the expertise being sought and the difficulty of operating at short notice ... we have had occasion to look to retired staff. A note I have in front of me says that four lecturers who were retired have been brought back on a part-time basis.

He then went on to elaborate on this topic. The TUI told us that his response is contradicted by information that CIT provided to the teaching union under a freedom of information request. That response said that 15 retired staff members have been re-engaged by CIT. There is quite a discrepancy there, is there not?
