If that is merely a transfer and the Minister is taking it out on one side and putting it in on the other, it still does not address the fact of who will pay for the increased civilianisation that we are promised. Let us be clear, the 2015 Garda Inspectorate report stated enhanced civilianisation was necessary. According to the Policing Authority's reports in here, that is well off target. Is the Department stating, in essence, there are no additional moneys being provided? Who will pay for this additional civilianisation or have we sort of said that they will not recruit them anyway because they keep promising every year but they do not actually do it?
