The Taoiseach:
It sought additional staffing and over the last number of years would have advocated for significantly increased resources. When I was formerly Taoiseach, I would have received correspondence in respect of this. With regard to the conduct of justice and our criminal justice system, in my view it is important we would respond to that. It is increased staffing and there are pay agreements.
