I thank the Minister for coming in this morning. I am familiar with Gina McIntyre and her staff in the SEUPB. She currently has 57 staff. The Minister has just stated the money is doubling. Therefore, we are going to have to have more staff there. Will there be more staff allocated to that body but also to local authorities that may be administering the programmes, and to Pobal as well?
