I thank Mr. Todd. Bringing some of the same issues South, when Dr. Geoffrey Shannon was here, he spoke very well of how gardaí were dealing with troubled kids when called to a scene, despite that there was a lack of training and education for the gardaí in dealing with problems that they were traditionally not expected to deal with as much as they are now. Do the witnesses think more training and education is required for Garda members because of these new community-based challenges, particularly relating to mental health?
