As the Deputy will be aware, the Corporate Enforcement Agency was formally established on 6thJuly 2022. The new Agency will effectively subsume the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement and will have greater autonomy and flexibility in terms of the ability to recruit staff with the necessary skills mix and depth of experience to meet the reinforced mandate of the CEA.
In preparation for the establishment of the new Agency, the overall budget allocation for the ODCE was increased by almost 30% to €7.75 million in 2022.
The table below sets out the estimated costings of increasing funding to the CEA by 50%.
- | REV Allocation 2022(€,000) | 50% Increase (€,000) |
---|---|---|
Corporate Enforcement Agency - C7 | 7,750 | 11,625 |
