It could not if there were no crime there but there is crime there that, as Mr. Drennan said, needs attention. On Mr. Drennan's points on the tendency of interested parties to litigate - this is not just an issue for Mr. Drennan, it is an issue many people have - before the civil courts, many are very well resourced as are their professional advisers. Does Mr. Drennan feel the parties being investigated have a substantial advantage over his office? I have heard members of An Garda Síochána and other commentators say that drug gangs and other criminals have an advantage over the Garda and it is sometimes down to resourcing.

Can Mr. Drennan expand on the points he made in his submission on the propensity to litigate and the advantages that the people have in terms of their professional advisers? Does it put the office at a disadvantage in that regard?
