The former assistant Garda Commissioner wrote an article in The Sunday Business Post criticising the smart policing model. The Minister should bear in mind the views of the Garda Representative Association and the Irish Farmers Association. The word "nostalgia" is just not appropriate. There are legitimate criticisms of the changes being made. Will the Minister give us a little more detail on the national digital radio service? Why does a budgetary issue arise in that respect? What are we spending on consultancy services and outsourcing? Does it represent value for money and result in benefits?

It would be good to have a breakdown of the rents paid by the Courts Service. I do not anticipate that the Minister can provide the relevant information now.
