Mr. Don Culliton:

As the director general stated earlier on in her contribution, following on from our experience we approached the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and specific arrangements were put in place for additional sick leave for individual officers who were injured in the course of their duties. That is a scheme that is sanctioned by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. We are looking to have that particular regime reviewed and we want to actively engage in that with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. However, as it stands at this point in time, and I cannot give any better answer than this, we are limited in what we can do.
