I welcome the Minister. He referred to the various organisations to which Forfás staff will transfer. Do we know the numbers transferring to each body? One of the Minister's stated considerations in bringing forward this legislation is to facilitate a transfer of expertise to the Department to assist him in his decision making. My concern is that the staff might all be going to the other designated bodies. I did not come across these figures in any of the information pertaining to the Bill, and it would be helpful if the Minister could provide them.
