With regard to following through on investigating various organisations involved in drugs and other illegal activities, such as the black economy and retail crime, it is reported that the Garda Síochána has only two people with financial accountancy expertise available within its staff. How do these gangs launder their money in terms of getting it into the real economy in a so-called legitimate fashion? Does it come down to a skills mix question or a resources question? Does the Commissioner have the wherewithal to do this, or does he outsource for the exact expertise and speciality in following the money trail arising from these gangs' trades?
