The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Office of the Attorney General are within the remit of the Department of the Taoiseach. The Minister of State might ask if any reform is being discussed, if the offices have set out any requirements they may have, and if they have sufficient staff and so on to do all the necessary work. We often hear of difficulties in getting cases dealt with in an efficient way. I wonder if we could have a note on that to give us an understanding of how all of this is being achieved and if further financial input is required.
