The eight gardaí will be working on cases, as will the digital forensics assistant principal officer, the enforcement lawyer and the ICT manager. These numbers comprise five clerical officers, two executive officers, one higher executive officer, three assistant principal officers and two principal officers. I do not believe there is a straightforward division between people who are working on cases and people who are not. In the case of the Senator's work and mine, we are public representatives but we have personal assistants or secretaries. Are they not working on cases? There is not a straightforward dichotomy in this situation.
