I propose to take Questions Nos. 269 and 270 together.

My Department does not use the services of recruitment or employment agencies. The use of such services by the bodies and agencies funded from my Department's Vote Group, and any possible fees and changes in such fees, are administrative matters for the bodies and agencies themselves.
