I have two final issues. Regarding structure and organisational change, and referring to my own area of the mid-west, our very good chief superintendent, John Kerins, retired at Christmas, and we wish him well. He was a super member of An Garda Síochána. There is a concern in County Clare about how long it will take to fill the position of chief super.

Second, the issue of Clare being joined up with the Galway division to form one district has come up. People in County Clare would not like to see this happen. We believe that the Clare division should stay as it is. Can Mr. Harris give the people of County Clare any assurance that the Clare Garda division will remain as is? When does he expect to make the appointment of chief super?
