The divisional PSUs are being rolled out in phases. Phase 1 is in respect of the Dublin metropolitan region west, Louth and Cork city. It was the pilot to which the Deputy refers. The assessment of that pilot is informing a further roll-out to each Garda division. The objective is to have the service across each division by the end of next year. There is sufficient funding allocated for that. It is expected that by this time next year, each Garda division will have a protected services unit.
