My question related to people being out sick. If we recruit people and they end up being stressed at work or in a difficult position with respect to bullying, harassment and so on, they might end up out sick. There has been no analysis of the number of Garda staff out sick, particularly those out with work-related stress. I know it has been brought to the Minister's attention that in a number of cases, people have been inaccurately recorded as being sick but they are out with work-related stress. Is there any analysis of it?

My next question relates to expenditure in the disclosures tribunal and the committee established essentially to filter the information from An Garda Síochána going to that tribunal. Is that an extra cost category?

My final question relates to the underspend in INIS. What is the cost of Operation Gull? How much is being spent and how many Garda resources are being used on it? It is a process involving co-operation on the Border relating to immigration or migration. I am not really sure what they are at, to be honest. How much is being spent on that and is it envisaged that it will increase with Brexit?
