Mr. John Twomey:

Again, what I can say to that is there have been new additions to the management team. It has been brought up to full strength. Proper resources have been put in around that.

We are talking of a period from 2006 when there was a serious reduction in the number of resources, particularly at senior management level. Notwithstanding all of that, we accept responsibility and accept that is our role. We are setting up what we are going to do to ensure this does not happen into the future. There is satisfaction with the organisation. It is the positive piece of this, and as was said earlier, most people in Ireland want to work with An Garda Síochána. We will take that positive to work on and to build on and we will do whatever we need to ensure we continue to provide a proper and effective policing service to the people.
