To rephrase the general point, it seems that no matter how efficient or good co-operation is with other organisations, if the vast majority of the other organisations close their doors at 5 p.m. on a Friday, responsibility will fall on the Garda. Would it assist the Garda or the PSNI if services were provided 24/7? I am thinking in particular of social services and Tusla. Through no fault of their own, they have their own difficulties in terms of the provision of resources. They do not have the staff they would like to have to fulfil their functions. Would it assist the Garda at those pinch points if greater support and resources were available to Tusla and social services?
