I wish to focus on one aspect, because it is the most important. I will put it in context. The force has a spend of €1.5 billion and €1 billion of that is on wages, so the focus is on the human element or human capital of where those gardaí will be deployed. Deputy Catherine Murphy mentioned this earlier. Is the focus specifically on urban areas or is there a focus on rural areas as well?
