Mr. Mark Griffin:
The numbers have varied. In 2013 we had 190,000 patrol man-hours, in 2014 we had 180,000. The reality is that the funding available to the organisation to carry out patrols is a factor in its capacity to do that. Like every other wing of the Department we have been constrained in funding terms in recent years but the IFI has been progressive in adapting to new technologies.
