I can assure the Deputy that I am committed to making sure the necessary resources are made available to the Criminal Assets Bureau from within the available public finances. In this regard the resources of the Bureau are, and will continue to be, kept under ongoing review by both the Criminal Assets Bureau and my Department. The work of the Criminal Assets Bureau is highly effective. I can inform the Deputy that at present there are two forensic accountants working in the Criminal Assets Bureau.
