I was sitting here with a smile on my face while listening to my colleague for the last few minutes because we finally have a Cork person on the board of the DAA. Not everybody in the country knows that the DAA also manages Cork Airport, which has been the left-out-of-the-room cousin for a very long time. I very much welcome the appointment of Ms Cogan to the board and thank the Minister of State for that.

Regarding the Minister of State's response to the questions I asked earlier, when will the Public Appointments Service, PAS, recruitment campaign begin, how long it will go on for and from where will the interim CEO-designate be appointed? Will it be, as was the case with the DAA, a staff member from within the IAA? Given that Mr. Ó Conghaile's is not the only resignation from the IAA or the only loss of a senior member of the authority and given the disillusionment among staff at the loss of our most senior investigator, is the Minister of State worried about the resignations that have occurred in the last couple of months? What plans does she have to address these issues so that nobody else leaves the IAA?
