Mr. John Hogan:
We do. What we have done in recent years is create in-house diploma programmes on taxation, on economics and on financial services, which have proved to be invaluable. We allow people to enrol on and subscribe to those courses. There could be someone coming in with an economics background who would add to their skill set by taking the tax diploma course or the financial services course, so we have that kind of cross-fertilisation of ideas and an overall increase in the capacity and capability of the staff of the Department.
