My final question relates to the issue of the new rosters coming on stream. Will the Commissioner elaborate on the implications for allowances, the costs of An Garda Síochána and policing? The Garda does an excellent job, but one issue that comes up is that of the number of old-fashioned gardaí on the beat. People still like to see gardaí walking the streets at night. There is great respect for the Garda and generally this is an issue that comes up. Will the Commissioner give us a flavour of the new rostering system and how it fits into the issue of allowances? What are the costs of policing? Will the Commissioner provide an overall flavour of what it means for policing for the ordinary person?
