I thank the Minister. As I have questions on that as well, that is interesting. Have the civilian drivers who were replaced due to reasons of national security, as the Minister said, been redeployed or made redundant? As the new drivers will have replaced civilian drivers, I am interested in that. I am also aware there were a number of complaints about the recruitment process for drivers. The Commission for Public Service Appointments, CPSA, reviewed the recruitment process and deficiencies were identified. Will the Minister confirm that none of the complainants were appointed as drivers at a later date?
