Mr. Graham Doyle:

I thank the Deputy. There has been a huge focus on trying to bring back and restore the funding and the staffing levels from before. As I said in the opening statement, it has taken a long time to do that but we have done it relatively quickly in the past couple of years. In terms of scarring effect, I have no doubt there has been. I joined this organisation at a late stage and the heritage brief joined us relatively recently. I can only imagine, and in terms of talking to people within the heritage and National Parks and Wildlife Service side, that it is quite demotivating when you see funding lost and you are passionate about the role you do. I have no doubt that this scarring effect takes place within the sector generally. I hope that some of that gets healed or improved by the commitment that has been shown and by the willingness to negotiate the higher levels of funding and to try to provide the additional staff numbers.

As to the last part of the Deputy's question, there is a huge challenge for everybody in all sectors now, whether in the private or public sector, in terms of just getting staff. That is a challenge.
