Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 September 2008
163 Deputy Liz McManus asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the number of staff employed by the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement; if she has an outstanding request for additional staff or resources for the office; if these requests will be met; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerLast year my Department responded to the Director's request for additional staffing resources by increasing the approved Departmental staff complement from 30 to 38. Approved Garda staff numbers were also increased by one in 2007 bringing the total approved staffing complement of the ODCE to 46 posts.
Four of these extra staff were provided to the ODCE in 2007 and the remaining four staff were provided earlier this year.
The Director indicated to my Department in late 2007 that having integrated these additional staff, he would review his request for further extra staff at the end of the 2008 and advise my Department at that stage of the results of that review.
