Ms Eimear Cusack:

When the in-depth analysis was done, it was deemed that of the 106, 82 would be offered contracts of employment. To make sure there was absolute transparency, as part of the process we put in place an appeals process both for those who were offered employment contracts and those who were not. At the end of the day it was deemed that 82 would be offered contracts, which translated into 79 acceptances.
