My final two questions are on the key outputs and overall metric of the targets that are built into the Estimates. I am surprised that there has been no determination of the number of overtime hours incurred by Operation Thor, which is the codename for the operation that is intended to address the burglary crisis of recent years. The operation worked effectively in many communities and numerous criminals were targeted and caught. It had a positive effect on crime rates. However, we are now in April and the number of overtime hours is yet to be determined. Why is that the case? Perhaps the Tánaiste will answer this question before I move on.
