If there are particular needs in a given area, we need to have greater flexibility regarding moving gardaí to where crime trends are accelerating or there are particular hot spots, and the Garda Commissioner has shown that. This is the idea behind Operation Thor and other initiatives. The Border area was the focus of discussions, and there have been some very good successes regarding fuel laundering.
