As Taoiseach at the time, I paused the entire process. Dr. Holohan then pulled out and said he no longer had any interest in pursuing the secondment. No Government funding was expended on this and the secondment did not proceed. There is an issue, as the report identified, around clarifying the entire secondment process. We can improve on that in respect of people in a given post who may seek a secondment from it. I believe we can redeploy people with expertise and experience, perhaps more effectively, within the public service on specific projects that are required in the future.
