Mr. Joseph Nugent:

I believe the figure is something in the order of 50 at this point. We are talking here primarily about stations that have very short opening hours, so first getting broadband into those stations, and second leaving equipment of a secure nature resident in them has been a challenge. We have worked with our colleagues in the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer to bring out different solutions and we have put something new in place which will allow us to move faster in addressing those issues. The Commissioner talked about the mobility project, which for a garda is about having a phone with the power of a very fast PC and being able to dock that in a station using a keyboard, mouse, and screen as if he or she were working on a PC. It has proved very successful in the pilot we have up and running and we expect to have another 20 or so of those dealt with very shortly.
