Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour)

I welcome the establishment of the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement and will watch how it develops. What concerns me is bringing the inquiries already in train to a conclusion in a way that ensures there is public confidence that we have not only a legal framework but also a mechanism for enforcement. On the ancillary matter of costs, the subject of comments by the Minister for Finance, is there any progress in Government on that matter or was it simply a kite?
