I assume the funding the Department gets is not Ms Collins's decision, which ultimately will be that of the Minister, but investing an additional €740,000 is not taking the issue of white collar crime seriously. The perception is that if we do not pay our TV licence or some minor bill we will be prosecuted but that those who commit white collar crime get off with it. That is sending the wrong signal if there is not enough funding to tackle it. Go raibh maith agat.
