Mr. Todd said that funding for policing is a political choice, which is a very strong statement. When he says that, I think he is saying that it is under-resourced. He is saying that it is a decision made by the political establishment and that he will work with that. I am not saying that he is outright criticising them. I cannot remember the Garda Síochána authorities being as blatant about the fact that the Garda is under-resourced too. Would it be true to say that the witnesses are more reluctant to say it?
