Ms Alison Coleman:

There is a higher number of testers across Limerick, with approximately nine testers in the county. With respect to absences at short notice, it can be hard but we make every effort to make sure those applicants who have been preparing for that day are looked after as quickly as possible. We move testers around and we have supervisors who often come in to help out at short notice when that happens. The coverage in Limerick has increased following the recent campaign and we are happy with the numbers there at present.
