Katherine Zappone (Independent)

I welcome the statement that there is an intent to level up powers and functions in the new commission, as there was huge concern on the part of the two bodies that there would be a levelling downwards rather than upwards. The Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality, of which I am a member, has been asked this week to review head 13. May I take it that the saving of €500,000 per annum will be made through consolidation of the commission's expenses? For clarification purposes, what does the Minister mean when he says he is looking for a business case to provide whatever additional resources are required?
