-----it is possible that some of the best people will go? I ask in particular about the Taoiseach's own Department. Is he concerned that people whom he did not envisage leaving, may leave and others whom he thought might take the offer are not doing so? Is he concerned at the widespread reports that senior members of the Garda Síochána are actively considering early retirement because of the suggested tax on the lump sum?
