Before Deputy Pearse Doherty continues, it is important to note that I hope and expect officials will work in a co-operative manner with the ombudsman's office to bring clarity on how the provisions will operate in practice when the legislation is enacted.

I do not know whether there will be a voted amount but I am sure that can be figured out as we go along. There will be some things to figure out when the offices merge and this can be part of that process.
