Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I thank the witnesses. This is all a bit new to us, that is, having committee meetings by Zoom or Teams, but I am sure we are picking it up as we go along. I have a few questions and if I do not get to ask them all, I will hopefully get a chance to come back in at some stage. Mr. Drennan listed the successes of the office over the past three years in his statement but he has also spoken a lot, not just here, but in other arenas, about resourcing. Can he estimate how many crimes or transgressions might have occurred and gone without investigation due to lack of staff? Does he feel that there are a number of white-collar criminals that are currently walking the streets and walking about freely because they slipped through the cracks due to the fact the ODCE did not have sufficient resources or oversight to pursue them?
