Mr. Martin Shanahan:

-----because I was part of the process. In terms of my understanding of the process, as a participant in it, the position was publicly advertised nationally and internationally. The competition relating to it was run by the Public Appointments Service. I believe IDA Ireland engaged with an international recruiter also. I cannot recall the name of the company involved but one of my colleagues may know. If it helps the Deputy, there was a three-stage interview process.
