Recently, the Tánaiste and some of her colleagues promised a package of measures to deal with white-collar crime. Incredibly, she proposes to give more powers and resources to the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement, ODCE. I say it is incredible because, given its very poor performance over recent years, especially its bungling of the Fitzpatrick trial, it is hard to understand why the Government is taking this approach. The Tánaiste has had a report on that office's handling of the Fitzpatrick trial for five months. I have asked her on a regular basis when we will get sight of the report. Can she tell us the reason for the further delay? When can we expect to see the report?
