It would appear to me that it should not be impossible to identify the full extent of any legacy issues. For example, recruitment took place within the Department of Health and the HSE in the last nine or ten months. To what extent did it take place and has the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform ascertained the degree to which recruitment has happened in areas that would avert the likelihood of a similar overrun in subsequent years?
