Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

The answer is "No". This is a Government Department and, like other such Departments, people apply for competitions. The objective is to make sure that we have an additional resource at a very senior level who deals with nothing but forestry. At the moment our top official dealing with forestry has to deal with many other complicated issues. I have already said that we have engaged outside contractors. We have an outside project manager and person looking at our systems. We are bringing in outside consultants to examine the systems we apply. It is not my intention to subvert the structure in the Department. I see no reason to do that. To be perfectly frank, it would be an inappropriate thing to do.
