Mr. Joseph Nugent:

We were looking at two slightly different issues. There has been a trickle of resources into ICT in permanent headcount but we have nonetheless lost some very skilled individuals with particular skills and we have been particularly short on the leadership level. That has led to excessive dependence on a single provider. Let us not worry about who it is. We have been supplementing its resources for the permanent headcount in the Garda. Our preference is to have a different mix which reflects what other Government agencies would have. We are happy to provide the committee with reference material on this, with the numbers of the permanent headcount in An Garda Síochána in comparison to the numbers of permanent headcount in other large public sector bodies. It might be useful if we send that to the committee straight away. I think we have that readily available.
