The newly appointed Garda Commissioner, Ms Nóirín O’Sullivan, is on record as saying she will be very worried if the numbers fall below 13,000. Her predecessor said the same. The Garda Inspectorate's report referred to resource issues. It will be of profound concern to the committee if the numbers appointed do not ensure the force remains above the figure of 13,000.
