I know. It would not have been that. I am just talking about when it comes back into the local arena. It is not really satisfactory that the gardaí are investigating gardaí. I am sure GSOC feels the same about that. That system gives rise to all types of issues such as the one I just mentioned.
I want to ask about staffing, the range of employees and their benefits. It appears 90% of GSOC’s spending, or maybe higher, is on salary or wages. There are 18 staff at the lower level, between €60,000 and €70,000. The statement do not give the numbers of staff it has if you look at the range of employees and their benefits. Is that just outlining the new employees for 2021 to 2022?
