We will let the witnesses back on that question and then you can put a further question afterwards, if you wish. I have to declare an interest. I was 23 years in the Reserve. I believe I benefited significantly from it, so I take your point on that, Deputy Ó Feargháil.

I invite Mr. Richardson to respond to the points about recruitment, specialisation and so on, after which Deputy Ó Fearghaíl may like to come back in with further comments or questions.
