Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael)

I do not see a benefit in introducing additional legislation. What we need to do is to enforce the legislation we have in this country to a greater extent. That is relevant to the Deputy's other point about white collar crime. I am as frustrated as he is with the slow progress that has been achieved to date in bringing prosecutions in the banking area. I am confident they will be brought in due course. We will allow the DPP to construct the case that is necessary.

From the information I have received, the contractor - Applus, has asked RTE for access to the information collected in the making of the "Prime Time" programme. To date, RTE has not made the information available because it says it does not come within the Freedom of Information Act. RTE has a responsibility to make the information available either to Applus or the RSA so that we have the information it has and can act accordingly.
