The Minister responded earlier and I understand the point she is making. In view of the exceptional need at this moment and the inability of the Garda to train more than 600 recruits at a time because of the physical limitation on the buildings at Templemore, would it not make sense, as an exceptional measure, to see if more people would continue to work? That is my point in a nutshell. Are there facilities to train gardaí somewhere other than Templemore? When Templemore is full, would it make sense to have a second location, such as a military barracks or somewhere that would be appropriately kitted out for people like that?
