Mr. Martin Callinan:

That is something we can research and provide for Deputy Mac Lochlainn.

On the issue of the reserve, we are constantly reviewing their powers. I am in discussion with the Minister and the Department on that. As Deputy Corcoran Kennedy will be aware, we have increased their powers incrementally over time. Now they are looking at all of the following: road traffic matters, assisting in arrests and public order issues. That is a work in progress. There probably is more room for such assisting. They are working well. Despite all of the issues that we had initially in the bedding down process, they are well received and, generally, are well respected. Certainly, from a management perspective, we are delighted to have them.

In the context of civilianisation Deputy Mac Lochlainn, we have - in terms of the senior command posts - all but two, and they are being advertised soon. Thereafter, we are caught with the moratorium on recruitment. One in three is the ratio. In most policing services, there is a greater ratio of one in six or seven. We have approximately 2,070 civilian support staff. We would like to increase that number but at present we do not see much potential. Much of the discussion is around swapping staff from one department to another and all of those areas are being looked at. Certainly, I will take help from wherever I get it.
