Mr. Bernard Gloster:

I believe the Deputy is referring to the email to the Minister and Secretary General I wrote the day before the budget. It would not be an overstatement to say that I talk to the Minister practically every day. The replies are constant. Before Christmas, the Minister reported that, in addition to the new development money he got in October's budget, which will allow us to recruit an additional 2,200 staff, he subsequently got a further €95 million in allocations. He is working through that with us to prioritise further spending. The responses are constant, to be fair. The Minister has not been behind the door in supporting us in trying to resolve this challenge.
