Mr. Brendan Walsh:

Those 35 individuals to whom the Deputy made reference went outside of the terms of their contract. From our perspective, the easiest thing to do would naturally have been to bring them in to the fold from a permanent perspective but, unfortunately, we had to follow the rules. We had to go to an open recruitment policy. That competition currently has seven individuals who are being tested today by our chief driving instructor. They are going through that testing process. Those 35 people were all welcome to apply for those positions we have available. We were duty-bound to follow the rules, however. It would have served us well and been easier for us just to take these guys on board but we had to follow a series of rules with regard to having an open recruitment competition.
