Ms Margaret McCabe:

The numbers are very low but that is not unusual at the moment because we are struggling with numbers because of full employment across the sector and not just in the Irish sector. It is quite difficult but there is a piece around the attractiveness of the jobs and the perception that one will be pigeonholed into the Irish area and will not get anywhere else. It is difficult and we have changed the process over the years. There are not even tests for some of the posts and we are still finding it difficult to fill the posts. It is tricky and it is not good.
