Mr. Toland talked about 83% of Garda resources being deployed to front-line services compared to 93% in other jurisdictions. I was a bit taken aback by the figure of 83%. I was pleasantly surprised because I thought it was going to be lower than that. I welcome the fact 83% of Garda resources are deployed to front-line services but Mr. Toland cited the figure of 93%. What ideas does he have to bridge the gap between 83% and 93%? Where is the figure of 93% coming from?
