Mr. John Twomey:
We are happy that the trial fulfils the role we want it to. It is intended to roll out the new system to every other Garda division. It serves two primary functions and relates to the effective deployment of our resources. It allows us have full line of sight on our existing resources at any one time but is also a very important planning tool. There are many events coming up and there are many peaks and troughs in demand. This system gives us the ability to plan more efficiently and effectively for those.
