Ms Margaret Attridge:

It is a combination. We are in a hybrid model at the moment. We have the local authority water services staff and Uisce Éireann staff. Over the course of 2024 and 2025, the local authority staff have been moving over to Uisce Éireann. Some have decided they have spent their lives working for the local authority, are at retirement age and do not want to move, so they are either moving back into the local authority or retiring. We have had a fairly large recruitment programme in place, so we are filling those roles as quickly as possible. In the past 12 months, I think we have recruited close to 700 people to fill roles as they become vacant.
