Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

We have a huge programme of work under way within our HR department led by our chief administrative officer, looking at the deployment of resources, Garda, civilian and reserve members.

We can make more efficient use of our resources. Our human resources and people development, HRPD, department is attempting to ensure we have a deployment model that helps us to do that.

The deputy commissioner will be able to answer who set the 2011 to 2016 targets. However, I can tell Deputy Wallace that none of those targets are linked to promotions. Our promotion system is competency-based and has been so for a number of years. Those competencies are determined by ourselves and the Policing Authority. Promotion is not linked to any operational activity targets.
