That would be very welcome, in particular at the moment as 100 new recruits have commenced training. There will be an intake of another 100 on 1 December and a further intake of 100 on 1 January. The new training course is very different from the previous system and it would be interesting for the committee to see that and to ask questions on the new modules that have been introduced. I am sure An Garda Síochána has found the students very receptive. For example, I have suggested to them that victims of crime should have an opportunity to meet the young recruits because what one hears when one is being trained is very influential. Such an approach has already been set in motion. The young woman who lost her family in a road traffic accident has met the new recruits. Such an initiative is very important. I would like it to be continued.
