I am trying not to stray into policy as I appreciate that is the job of the Joint Committee on Justice and Equality, of which I was a member for six years. In regard to forensics, as far as I am aware, this work is carried out by sworn members. Will the Commissioner clarify what roles do not necessarily require sworn members such that there is a saving to the taxpayer and an increase in public confidence because the sworn member is more appropriately engaged in Garda duties?
