Ms Sinéad Ward:

On the numbers, there were only two or three people when we started in 1998, but once it moved into the limited company status and had its own buildings around 2001, the staff settled at approximately 18 to 20 and it has remained at that number since then. Occasionally, it will go up. If we receive funding for research, we would bring a few researchers for a two- or three-year programme but generally speaking, our staff tends to stay somewhere between 18 and 20 staff members.
