I welcome the witnesses. My question is on staffing. In 2019, GSOC had 125 members of staff. This has increased to 127. GSOC will have new powers. After a debate in the Dáil on GSOC, we received a letter from the then chair outlining some issues with capacity and staffing. Do the witnesses anticipate there will be significant additional resources to deal with the new powers? Is this in the planning at this stage? What kind of numbers are we speaking about?
