Mr. Robert Morton:

Yes, absolutely. This year we have ramped up recruitment explicitly. There has been a massive public campaign with a particular focus on student paramedics and intermediate care operatives. That has been very successful. We started three groups of 30 student paramedics between 6 September and 19 September and we will start three more groups on 19 December as well, with a view to them commencing the degree programme in January. As the CEO has mentioned, we have a finite capacity for placements in education at the moment. In his opening statement the CEO mentioned the fact that we want to develop a fourth educational campus. At the moment we educate paramedics in Dublin, Ballinasloe and Tullamore but over the next three years we propose, subject to Estimates, to expand that capacity into Wexford, Cork and Sligo so that we can effectively double our educational capacity to meet the future workforce needs.
