Mr. Ger Deering:

At the moment, the answer is that I do not know and that I will have to do some more work.

However, one of the first things I will do when I am appointed to the job is work with the director general responsible for that area of the work in the office. Looking at it, it is a very broad office, with not many staff at the moment. We will have to look at resources, particularly now given the new responsibility the Chairman just mentioned in respect of protected disclosures. I mentioned that we cannot keep giving responsibilities to organisations that are already stretched and hope they can do more with the same resources. People have come through a very difficult time when there were cutbacks, which were necessary and essential, but if we want quality we are going to have to resource it. It will take me a little time to figure out what the proper resourcing level is.
