One of the difficulties with having full employment is there are opportunities and it is a difficult recruitment market. It is a challenge for every organisation. While 1,000 people have expressed an interest, Uisce Éireann will never get all 1,000, considering the conversion rate. I would imagine Uisce Éireann would prefer to be starting from a higher base to get to 1,000 in terms of a conversion rate. Is there anything other than those opportunities within the local authority sector or the age profile of some of the staff involved that is jumping out that perhaps Uisce Éireann can look at and address to make it more attractive for people to come across?
