There is no intention to insult anybody, be it the people of Donegal or the Senator. I am simply giving a response in straight, clear terms. The moratorium on recruitment must remain in place, regrettably, and everybody is aware of the reasons for it. If I can do anything else to assist the Senator regarding specific details of the issue he raised, I will do that. However, as regards the Senator's specific question about the moratorium, there are no proposals to raise the moratorium.
