This links with subhead A2 on administration, which includes the maintenance of Garda premises. There was an underspend on capital building and Garda premises. The saving is approximately €4,000 per Garda station. Is the Minister considering reviewing the closure of Garda stations? While she might not open every one of the 139 Garda stations that have been closed, might she consider some of them from a strategic perspective or is it being put down as an operational matter?
