Mr. Justice Rory MacCabe:

We have certainly made contact with the Department of Justice on it. The Departments of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform and Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science are aware of the problem. In fact, according to a press report published last year, the Ministers, Deputies Harris and Donohoe, stated that consideration was being given to a public service apprenticeship programme for junior investigators specifically in GSOC. To that extent, they are aware of the problem.
