My second question is on one of the many reports to which the Commissioner referred from the Garda Inspectorate - the report on the overall operation of An Garda Síochána - at which we looked at this committee. We also discussed the Sean Guerin report. In both cases issues arose around inadequate supervision of trainees and probationary gardaí being given unwarranted levels of responsibility in the investigation of individual cases. With the restructuring about which the Commissioner has talked, there will be a number of changes made. In practical terms, what changes to the structure of the training programme for gardaí are being made to ensure adequate supervision levels?
