Ms Clare McGrath:
We have two things going on. The first concerns our responsibilities regarding the fabric and maintaining buildings in a good, operable state of repair, for which we are never fully funded. The second element is operational and related to new demands. There is a constant cross-play between maintenance and what we would call fabric repair works and-or elective works, but some of those elective works derive from operational requirements. Those are prioritised by An Garda Síochána and we do the planned maintenance. We are beginning now to have the opportunity on a planned maintenance basis to prioritise funding, but always having regard to An Garda Síochána. That is about the fabric.
