Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I did not hear what the Taoiseach said in respect of the cost of the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for 2010. Does that office present a schedule of work or projected work to his Department in respect of its Vote? Is he satisfied that the DPP will have sufficient staff to ensure that the office carries out its duties?

Is the Taoiseach in possession of any information relating to the number of cases that put before the DPP in respect of which he has provided a reason for his decision? In the past the DPP explained, in respect of a small number of occasions, the reasons he arrived his various decisions. These were sensitive cases. Does the Taoiseach's brief in respect of these questions provide any information in this regard?
