Go raibh maith agat, a Chathaoirligh, agus fáilte, John. Can I ask you, in your opening statement, you agreed that the staffing numbers of economists in the Department was inadequate. You also mentioned that there was, there has been, and continues to be, efforts to address this. You also, and you've given some figures to the Deputies, or the Senators, in relation to that. Could you outline your opinion on how, and in what areas of your division, this inadequate number mainly impacted on the work of the Department?
