Go raibh maith agat. I welcome Mr. Harris and wish him well in his role. Unfortunately, we have had a high turnover of Garda Commissioners and Ministers for Justice and Equality, and much of that was down to cultural and organisational issues we had in an Garda Síochána, as I am sure Mr. Harris is aware. We are hoping the changes that were promised are being delivered, and some of my questions will be in that vein.

I want to start by picking up on the last point Mr. Harris raised in relation to ICT and the investment over the last five years. Mr. Harris said he wants a far more efficient process and that there may be an over-reliance on paperwork at times. Broadband is a big topical issue, as I am sure Mr. Harris is aware, and as late as 2017, 111 out of the 563 operational Garda stations did not have access to broadband. Has that improved, and do the witnesses have an up-to-date figure on how many, at this point in time, do not have access to broadband?
