Mr. Bernard Gloster:

Yes, there was a nurse missing in the community nursing unit in Limerick. Of course, there was. Yes, there was a social worker missing somewhere. Of course, there was. On any given day, that happens. However, that was overtaken by the fact we kept 4,000 jobs and we added 2,000 more jobs than we were funded to do last year and got to keep them. This year, we are again adding several thousand jobs.
