This is a bit complicated, so I have written down my questions. I thank our witnesses for giving their time and for the presentation given by Ms McNamara. Does Ms McNamara believe that our national competition authorities, NCAs, have the necessary resources to tackle white collar crime? I am referring to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, CCPC. Does Ms McNamara feel that it has the resources to tackle white collar crime considering a huge amount of the resources on transposition will be directed to consumer related matters? Does she think there is a need for additional resources or does she believe the resources are adequate for the moment?
