Is there a need for greater resources in that area? According to what I uncovered through parliamentary questions, there are no solicitors or barristers in the Garda fraud squad and there are just two accountants employed there. People are very upset about white collar crime. Like me, I am sure the Commissioner would like to see a greater level of success. If he feels there is anything that should be done to try to improve the situation, perhaps he would outline it. Has he had a chance to discuss it with the Minister?
