Mr. Drew Harris:

We are effectively creating a model division, and we must then apply that and extra factors to the actual reality of what a division will be. The "straw man" expression is used. We take the model, apply it to a division and see how it will work or, if it does not work, what else we must do. We have discussed autonomy and local involvement, a good part of which entails implementation and having a say in what that is. I am trying to keep this within a corporate framework. With the best will in the world, costs can sometimes spiral. I must maintain a control on costs. Every superintendent is one fewer garda on the ground. There is a bit of give and take in terms of resourcing the organisation.
