The Office of the Ombudsman has always been very helpful to me when I have kept it busy with referrals on issues that I regarded it as being best equipped to address. A range of new bodies will now be coming under the Ombudsman’s remit but has a commitment been given on adequately resourcing the office given that it has insufficient resources at present? Has there been any discussion with the Minister to date?
