The Commissioner is misunderstanding me. Really I am not being critical. I just think there would be value in the exercise.

In response to a recent parliamentary question, the Minister for Justice and Equality confirmed protective services units have been established in ten Garda divisions, with 19 to go. I would have said this is a bit behind schedule. The pilot phase included the areas of Dublin metropolitan region west, Cork city and Louth, followed by another six areas, namely, Dublin metropolitan region south central, Waterford, Kerry, Carlow-Kilkenny, Limerick and Galway. Am I right in saying just one additional unit has been delivered so far in 2019? That being the case, can we be confident the other 19 will be established by the end of the year?
