It is a case of "Show me your budget and I'll show you your priorities." We are talking about really small money in the scheme of a multibillion-euro budget. It is incredible and that needs to be heard loud and clear here today. On the staff piece, the witnesses have touched on the challenges with recruitment and retention. The vast majority of this work is led and delivered by volunteers. It seems to be a permanent challenge to recruit and retain volunteers to deliver services. Are there particular pieces there that the witnesses would like to highlight? I will follow their lead. I hear about needing certainty around Garda clearance and things like that. Are there other issues they would like to highlight?
