Amharc ar fhreagra69 Mr. O’Shea asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he will accede to the request from the Office of the Director for Corporate Enforcement for an additional allocation of 20 staff; if he has received detailed plans from the Director for Corporate Enforcement setting the way in which additional staff will be utilised; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 69 and 54 together.
I met with the Director recently to discuss his request for additional staff resources. I indicated to him that I was generally disposed to his case. I outlined the very tight parameters that exist under the Public Service staffing reduction programme. I have raised the matter with the Minister for Finance and my officials will be engaging more fully in the matter with the Department of Finance.
