- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2021
Vote 24 – Justice (25 May 2023) Verona Murphy: We probably should have 2,000, but we have set 1,000 with the hope of making it. I ask Ms McPhillips not to get me started. I am asking a very serious question. If we drop below 700, has she an active role? As the Secretary General of the Department of Justice, is Ms McPhillips concerned that we are not recruiting the numbers we should be? We are already below the European average. It...
