Deputy, just treat the witnesses with respect.

The matter of recruitment has come up on nearly every occasion we have had the witnesses before us. The Deputy cited Wexford, and one could rattle off the figures for other counties. There is clearly a problem filling posts on the CDNTs to provide that service. There are statistics for the vacancies across the teams. I ask the witnesses, so as we are clear about this, to come back with the plan or a schedule of improvements in recruitment and the filling of those positions. We know that they cannot click their fingers and fill them, but what is the plan this year, next year and the year after, over the next three to four years, to fill them? What actions are being taken? This means having people in colleges doing the right courses and people coming out the other end. We should ensure that the funding going in is being used properly. If you could come back to us with that, Ms Hoey, that would be helpful because is frustrating. Deputy Murphy has rattled off cases in her areas-----
