I thank Mr. O'Reilly. I have some questions on the recruitment and retention environment. There has been considerable discussion about the comparatively small number of staff in the NCSC and the lack of a director. Does Mr. Walsh share that concern or have any sense of the type of staff that such services require? What is the rate of retention or attrition? Is pay a factor or does it also take in the level of supports and overall governance and commitment to the sector? Does Ms Carolan have any comments on staff at the director and other levels of cybersecurity as a priority for the Government and the State?
