I join my colleagues in expressing sympathy to the family and colleagues of the late Garda Golden.

I welcome the Commissioner. She mentioned the text alert system in her opening address. It seems the system has been quite successful, with 125,000 people participating in various groups. What is the cost to An Garda Síochána of the text alert system? Does the Commissioner plan to try to increase the number of groups and, by extension, the number of participants in the programme?
