I met the Director for Corporate Enforcement on 17 May 2006 to discuss his request for additional staff resources. I indicated to him that I was generally disposed to his case. I outlined the very tight parameters that exist under the Public Service staffing programme. I have raised the matter with the Minister for Finance and my officials are currently engaging more fully on the matter with the Department of Finance with the objective of a phased increase in the staffing of the Office of the Director for Corporate Enforcement to the extent that overall Public Service staffing numbers permit.
