Mr. O'Donnell is speaking about the staff and I fully understand they have a lot of territory to cover. With regard to environmental issues, does Mr. O'Donnell feel that at this stage it would be helpful if IFI had additional staff to help out in this area? The fisheries board watches developments all of the time. Mr. O'Donnell has already explained how fish stocks have decreased substantially. Therefore, IFI is watching future developments. Is he satisfied that IFI has sufficient staff to deal with the issue so there can be co-ordination between it, local authorities and developing projects?
