Is the Minister aware that the recruitment of executive members of the fire associations is very difficult from the point of view of the salary structure which is unrealistic and the question of qualifications which appears to be exceptionally demanding in some cases that local authorities are experiencing real difficulty in getting response to advertisements for staff at that level?

At the level of?

At executive level, middle management.

I understand they have had some difficulty in Dublin but I have not heard that they have had difficulty anywhere else. There has been some difficulty, I am told, in the Dublin area.

Does the Minister propose having a look at that or doing anything about it?

Yes, as part of the review to which I have referred.
