I will not take that length of time. I thank Ms Ní Sheaghdha and Mr. Ginley for coming in. Answering Senator Kyne earlier, they referred to the difference between the number of whole-time equivalents that have been hired and what the HSE is saying, and said that some services are being brought in and are being included in the numbers. Have they tried to engage with the HSE to get agreement on the numbers? It would seem quite mischievous on its part, presenting to us that recruitment is at a certain level when in reality it is not at that level. Have they engaged with the Minister on that? We need to get accurate information, as they can appreciate.
