Mr. Graham Doyle:
The director of that office was quoted in a newspaper at the time saying that staffing was not adequate. The Minister of State subsequently met the director and it was made clear that the issue was vacancies in the shared service unit. That was the first thing to be addressed. A recruitment process was put in place and I think a panel was put in place. There was a loss of another staff member. My understanding at this point is that job offers have been made and that a new vacancy is now going through the process.
