Mr. Martin Callinan:

This absolutely addresses the nub of the issue we are discussing. This is about 24-seven policing. While Garda stations are important in the entire regime of things, it really is about how we, as policemen and women, react to the service we need to provide. There have been a number of gangland shootings recently and I will be appearing before the Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality in a couple of weeks' time to discuss that subject. However, there have been recent cases in which people were shot at 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. Consequently, it really is about providing a 24-hour service. I am afraid I cannot go into numbers-----
