I would like to ask about one or two other areas. I am concerned that those who go into Garda stations to discuss issues of concern to them are not always afforded sufficient privacy. There have been some improvements in that regard in my own constituency. Can anything more be done? People are often very vulnerable when they approach the Garda desk to ask to see someone. They sometimes find they have to wait for quite some time and, more worryingly, they have to speak about their problems in a relatively public area.
