Mr. Hugh Hume:
Mr. Justice MacCabe referred to the fact that we have been proactive around the educational aspect. Ms McLoughlin and Ms Woods are currently involved in the procurement process to look for a third level institution that will support the development of our staff and thereby make us an employer of choice. That will attract people to come and have a professional qualification linked to working in GSOC.
We are supported financially in that through the Department. We are being proactive in this regard and seeking a graduate educational system.
