I understand from the Health Service Executive that specialised skills were required for this project. Efforts were made to recruit Irish staff on the payroll in the first instance. This did not prove successful. The project team then sought to secure these skills from Irish-based recruitment firms, and while there was limited success it became necessary to source resources further afield; the UK market enabled the deficit to be filled.
The following is the information I received from the Health Service Executive.
