How is the Commissioner progressing with the civilianisation of many of the administrative functions of An Garda Síochána that would, in turn, free up gardaí to be out on the beat and in the community? Can he supply to the committee - I do not presume he will have it off the top of his head - the numbers of dedicated community police officers over the past five years? What is the position? Have we more or fewer? I ask that statistics on that be provided to the committee.
