Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána

Mr. John Twomey:
For clarity that figure relates to the initial, partial examination in one particular area. It is both sworn members and civilian members. There are skilled analysts providing the number crunching. At the moment there are a number of people in every Garda division doing the exact same work. We are talking about closer to 80 to 100 people now. Every Garda division has a number of people working on it, both sworn and civilian members, supported by analysts in all of those cases. It is complex. It starts in 560 Garda stations and is cascades up to 103 Garda divisions where the superintendents compile the numbers. Then it cascades again up into the 28 Garda divisions. There are people everywhere and that is the region of the number we are talking about at the moment.
