I thank assistant commissioner Finn for his presentation. That concludes the opening presentation.

Before I open up the debate to members, I wish to make a few comments. While this is a work in progress, it is appropriate, as Chair, that I acknowledge that there is evidence of increased Garda footfall in communities across the country. That situation is in evidence in my own part of the country and elsewhere, which I have had reflected to me.

Let the good work continue. I will now open the floor for questions. Many Members have indicated.
