At a previous justice committee meeting, I asked about resourcing and then Carmel Foley responded how GSOC determines it can maximise its resources to ensure the better use of public funds. There was a standard response that we received from other agencies as to how they would do with what they have. GSOC was not overtly explicit about increased staffing requirements and resources before. However, today, and in the intervening period elsewhere, GSOC has become explicit in expressing its difficulties with its operational concerns. What triggered that? Was there an accumulation of frustration?
