Mr. Jim Nugent:
We looked at internal applicants and any of them would have fitted the bill in filling the post. Perhaps it is the influence of the private sector but there is a sense that there can be good succession planning by having good executives developed within an organisation, so an internal competition would be sufficient. We are hearing a very different argument now.
