Some of the issues they might have to deal with at the coalface could almost trigger a form of post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD. Quite a high percentage of gardaí would deal with addiction issues, in particular, an area of which I am very aware and have worked in. I imagine there is a high level of burnout among the members. Addiction issues bring on many difficult situations such as fights, car crashes and domestic violence. It is a major area. I understand that often gardaí may not want to ask for help because it is not cool to do so. What supports would the Commissioner be considering putting in place around all of that?
