Mr. John Twomey:

It is important to add to Mr. Nugent's point about the way it was reported that, in fairness, all of the serious operations that are necessary to keep the people of Dublin safe were continued. For example, Operation Hybrid, which is our specific operation to target serious and organised crime, and any of the security issues in regard to immigration at Dublin Port, were continued. All of the operations continued; it was just that there was a focus on some of them for that couple of days from an accounting process perspective more than anything else. The issue is the reporting rather than any reduction in policing, or anything like that. The key message that I would like to be clear on is that there was no reduction in policing in terms of additional resources being provided for any of the more serious operations, such as Operation Hybrid, Operation Thor and other operations.
