The Minister says there have not been any job losses. Has there been any loss of volunteers? Is she happy that, under the new structure, both schemes will attract the same number of volunteers as heretofore? All the information coming to me suggests the precise opposite.

Could the Minister confirm the cost structure of the new organisation? Will it enable the State to provide the same service more efficiently and cheaply or will it cost more?
