Mr. Robert Watt:

That is at assistant secretary level. At Secretary General level we are doing much better in terms of gender diversity but that deteriorates significantly. The last two Secretaries General appointed, however, were females so we made some progress there but we are not quite there yet. It is much better than the Dáil, of course, the Deputy is dead right.
