Ms Jacqui McCrum:

If I explain how we operate, that might give some comfort to the Deputy. In terms of the structures that we have in place, first of all recruitment is the responsibility of the Chief of Staff and his team. My team and I have no hand, act or part in that. We support our colleagues in the Defence Forces in terms of budgets for advertising or whatever they require. In fact, we have meetings on a regular basis on that whole issue. It is an issue for the whole organisation, but the responsibility lies with the Chief of Staff and we support from the side.
