The Deputy will be aware that a supplementary estimate at the back end of last year allocated an additional €5 million to Bord Bia. That agency is currently undertaking a recruitment campaign to take on 29 additional staff. It is an issue we keep under active consideration, but our engagement with Bord Bia leaves us satisfied that it is adequately provisioned at present.
