The reason I am asking is because we have not had great success in attracting people from outside into the senior ranks of the Civil Service. Is that to do with salaries or is it to do with them going off and getting different jobs while they are waiting, as Mr. Moloney said, for decisions to be made? What can we do to make it more attractive to those outside to come in and bring in some fresh thinking or new direction if it is needed? Is there anything obvious that Mr. Moloney thinks should be done?
