Ms Laura Burke:
We received a number of staff in 2018 to deal with issues arising from climate change. We got staff for the national dialogue on climate action, which is one of our functions. We also got staff to deal with greenhouse gases and inventories. If we had more staff, we could do more but in this instance, and really prioritising, we have not looked for staff in the climate area for 2018 to 2019.
