I appreciate that, but the journalists are capturing the public attitude. The Garda Commissioner spoke to Deputies Kelly and MacSharry about the money being spent on PR and making sure that the Garda is not insular. However, the journalists in these counties are capturing the public attitude. Paul Williams is doing so on his roadshow. Is the Garda gathering that information and directing the type of policing that assuages that and gets these guys so they do not feel they control our streets, given the spend of €1 billion on wages?
