The letter referred to an extraordinary increase in the number of investigation files being received and the significant additional responsibilities being placed in the office, both in terms of volume and complexity. It pointed to a 41% increase in the caseload between 2017 and 2021 and increasing demands on the office, particularly around financial crime and corruption. Is it fair to say that this Supplementary Estimate shows that the DPP was right and that the Government did not adequately fund the office in the budget announcement last year? I note what the Minister of State said about a 10% increase.
