I thank our guests for coming before the committee this afternoon. The three main issues are extracts from the inspectorate's report. An analysis has already been raised by Deputy Finian McGrath, but my question is somewhat different. The analysis of employment data on a Tuesday morning and Saturday night concerned 48 gardaí. The inspectorate expected to see far more members on duty. This has been mentioned to me privately by members of An Garda Síochána. Is some of that to do with more junior ranks being rostered for late-night or more anti-social hours, for example, in one division, where more junior members of the force were being allocated the red-eye shift at 2 or 3 a.m.?
