Paul Gavan (Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

One of the concerns we would have - I am sure the Minister can understand why we have it - is that the office may not be sufficiently resourced. It strikes me that we need the chief deciding officer to have the power to actually indicate that he or she needs additional resources and the power to appoint those resources. We know what happens generally otherwise. I am not hearing any reassurance but, again, I want to give the Minister an opportunity to give me that reassurance if it is there.
