Mr. John Twomey:

There is a facility and an ability for that to be done in real time. That work has primarily been done in the background. We have tested and piloted our mobility programme in the Limerick division. The people there have handheld devices that they can use for inputting. They have real-time information at the point and at the time they require it, which is at the roadside. All this improves the processes when gardaí are making the decisions they are required to make. We have done some work to look at how this will extend and roll out. We have developed a series of apps. It has been pointed out that PULSE is continuing to adapt to change, to evolve and to become more agile. This is enabling An Garda Síochána to provide information to the people on the front line. As I have said, we have tested and piloted that. We have completed the proof of concept in the pilot division. I think this will develop considerably over the next 12 months.
