The Minister did not address two of my questions. The first was when will the decision support service be delivered. Will it be possible to deliver that in 2018? Second, the question I asked on Forensic Science Ireland was not about bricks and mortar, it was about staffing. There was an issue in the previous recruitment campaign that insufficient applicants had applied and that not enough additional staff had come in. Is that the case with the current campaign? Does the approach regarding negotiation need to be reconsidered in that context?
I overlooked another question that I wished to put to the Minister. How much was spent on the Office for Internet safety last year?
