Mr. Niall Cody:
I mentioned earlier the Minister was at the finance committee about the Estimates yesterday. We have always taken a careful approach to our staffing requirements. In the context of Brexit, in 2016, we were given out to at one stage for having certain work done. We started working on the implications of Brexit before the referendum, just in case. In 2017 or 2018, we put a business case to DPER and the Department of Finance around projects of what we would need if Brexit happened. In fairness to the Government, DPER and the Department of Finance, we were supported. Our staffing has gone up by about 1,000.
