As long as that applies in both directions, I am happy.
On the requirement that numbers in respect of the Garda force should not fall below 13,000, is the Minister confident we will have 13,000 qualified gardaí? Also, is he aware of the ongoing commentary by the Garda Representative Association not only nationally but regionally? In my county of Donegal, the GRA representative made very alarming statements recently regarding the inability of the Garda Síochána to deal with crime in that region. Has the Minister met recently with the GRA about its concerns in this regard?
