Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:

Everybody has a control of fraud brief. In the last year an additional 600 warrants have been issued by staff in the Department, but bear in mind that 1,000 staff have come from the HSE and 700 from FÁS employment services and community employment programmes. We have also had additional staff redeployed.
