I want to ask about Garda overtime. In my own constituency, the K district, we have Farmleigh and the Phoenix Park, which have serious security requirements from a national perspective that are drawn from the local division. Is additional overtime given at a local level when the division has to deal with national requirements? Also related to overtime, has an additional overtime budget been discussed with the Department of Justice and Equality? Have there been discussions on managing overtime in the context of unplanned national visits like the visit of the Pope last year and Vice President Pence this year, as well as other national visits that will inevitably occur? How is An Garda Síochána planning for that in terms of the spillover effect outside of the other overtime which occurs on a planned basis?
