I got that from Mr. Duggan's answer to Deputy Kehoe and from the opening statement but the opening statement also mentioned that terms and conditions were one of the reasons for people leaving. Far be it from me to tell Mr. Duggan how to do his job but, as public representatives, we are having to answer these questions on the street and, if I were in his shoes, I would ring-fence passport money to invest it in staff to ensure these problems would not arise, letting other areas fend for themselves. This seems to be the biggest issue at the moment. As Deputy Kehoe has said, we hear about it on the ground.

I just wanted to put those few questions but they were not meant to be my starting point at all. Is it correct that the current board is still an interim board, appointed by the Minister?
