Mr. Daithí Ó Caigne:

At this point in time, we have a panel of eight executive officers ready to be assigned, so the supply is there. We also have four higher executive officers and one assistant principal officer ready to be assigned. There is no requirement at this point in time to assign those individuals to particular posts. The Civil Service is back in the recruitment business over the past two or three years. The committee will be aware of the moratorium and the various restrictions on recruitment.
