Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

General Scheme of the Companies (Corporate Enforcement Authority) Bill 2018: Discussion

Mr. Ian Drennan:

I can quite honestly say that is a question I had not anticipated. There is no particular mechanism. We do not have golden handcuffs, unfortunately. We hire good people, as I hope is evident, and they know what they are about. I hope the committee has got a sense that what we do is very interesting work. It is high-risk work but it is very interesting. Certainly, my sense in recent years is this is what motivates people. Clearly people have other life imperatives but the staff would say to a man and woman that it is certainly not a boring job. Thus far-----
