There is quite a bit of crossover in this particular office. It involves the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and other Departments. That is understandable. To move on to the Department of the Taoiseach's Vote, I want to explore redundancy and severance. It has always been my understanding that a job is made redundant as opposed to an individual. Is it then accurate to count it as a redundancy if someone new is recruited because there is a different officeholder? Is it actually the job that is made redundant? What I am really trying to get at is whether there is the same number of people.
