I note the litany of measures the Taoiseach has just listed that were taken following the recommendations of both of those tribunals. Ultimately, our constituents want full accountability for decisions. I do not think the Taoiseach in any way addressed the fundamental question I asked him. Can he outline what resources are available to the Revenue Commissioners, the Criminal Assets Bureau, the Bureau of Fraud Investigation, the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation and other vital Garda agencies, such as the Director of Corporate Enforcement, SIPO and the Director of Public Prosecutions, to complete any and all ongoing investigations into the corruption revealed by the Flood, Mahon and Moriarty tribunals?

The Criminal Assets Bureau currently has a staffing complement of 71 which is the same as in 2013.

Will there be an interim report to Dáil Éireann on all of the key issues I have raised? Will the Taoiseach or the Minister for Justice and Equality indicate when a final report from An Garda Síochána and the Director of Public Prosecutions will be sent to the Department and laid before the House regarding investigations into the findings of the Flood-Mahon and Moriarty tribunals?
