Ms Noirín O'Sullivan:

Not specifically in regard to the by-laws. However, up to the redeployment of personnel using the new roster system, we were conscious that gardaí needed to be clustered together in order to provide greater visibility and greater outreach to communities. As I explained earlier, it is part of our focus to be able to engage with communities at a different level and to ensure members will be able to respond to incidents as they arise. This outreach is an important part of our policing strategy.
