I heard a number of compliments about the office's work. A number of people have told me that when they contacted the office as Gaeilge they received a very good service. On the more general issue, do issues arise in regard to staffing at the office? Realistically, what would it hope for as a staffing complement? The Language Commissioner has advised us that he needed X number of staff to carry out his work properly. I take it that the Ombudsman's office is understaffed at present. What does Mr. Tyndall regard as the ideal complement of staff, is he receiving co-operation from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in this regard and when would he expect to have a full complement?
