Between 2015 and 2016, some 1,450 people will be taken in. I assure the Deputy that there is no cash shortage in respect of retaining our number at 9,500. That is absolutely not the case.
When the brigade structure was changed and with the reorganisation it was a given that there would be a force of 9,500. The resource envelope is available for a force of 9,500.
