Dr. Don Thornhill:

Certainly, if we are compared with GSOC in respect of funding arrangements, we will be a levy funded organisation and not an Exchequer funded organisation.

The evidence will be there. We are still under the control of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform with regard to public expenditure. Nonetheless, the facts will be there. If we have an unmanageable backlog of complaints from which our determinations of admissibility are significantly in arrears, it will make a very compelling case for us to levy accordingly and to recruit the staff to be able to deal with that.
