Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

I was just conferring with the deputy commissioner. To explain, there was a restructuring of the organisation. There was no demotion of anybody, quite the opposite – there were new positions identified for civilian heads of staff at the equivalent of assistant secretary, which we call executive director level. One was in charge of legal and compliance and one was in charge of governance and strategy. In those realignments temporary people were put into position until such time as those competitions could be run to fill those vacancies. Those competitions are currently being run. I will just check with Mr. Nugent. That position will be shortlisted in the coming weeks. At no stage was there any demotion of any individual. Yes, there was a change to organisational structures and reporting structures, and an important point is that there was also full consultation in relation to those changes because we were trying to implement recommendations made.
