Mr. Mark Griffin:
On the 20 staff which the Deputy mentioned, again, we got a decision in July 2021 to move to recruit 20 additional staff by the end of 2022. That work is ongoing. A recruitment process for a number of these roles is under way through the Public Appointments Service. We have also sought expressions of interest through Civil Service mobility. A number of the roles have been advertised, with more to follow in the coming weeks. Again, it takes time to get the these people in a market that is really hot at the moment.
