There was an additional aspect of the Deputy's question which was the reference to catastrophic failures which makes it more difficult. I can provide the Deputy with an answer on whether people have been dismissed from the service in the past 12 months and the reasons for those dismissals will be manifold, individual and unique. We cannot say these people were dismissed because of catastrophic failures. I can certainly ask the director general to answer the question on the number of people who have been dismissed from the service in the past 12 months, or whatever it was.
