I appreciate the Minister's response. Could I have a general comment from her on the GoSafe contract and its performance?
According to figures I was reading yesterday, there has been a reduction in the air support budget for An Garda Síochána, namely, the two Garda helicopters. Perhaps I misread the figures. Could the Minister address that and outline whether the replacement of those aircraft will be budgeted for? Could the Department provide information to me or the committee on the number of deployments on the fixed wing aircraft allocated to An Garda Síochána? What is its general usage and will it be scheduled for replacement in the near future?
