Ms Noirín O'Sullivan:
We are very close to the point below which we should not go. It is not because we lost 1,000 people that we are doing our job more efficiently. The operating environment has changed considerably, and the environment in which we are working and operating has changed considerably as well. We must continuously review and adapt to meet those changes. At present, the people we have are deployed in such a way that we are achieving maximum effectiveness from them, and we will keep that under review. As I said, we are engaged in a review of the rosters at present and the outcome of that will help us to continue to improve on where we deploy our people as well.
