Mr. Drew Harris:

I will start with overall commentary I wish to make and hopefully I will then be able to provide some reassurance. One of our biggest issues is around the workforce resource challenge we face in matching the skills, in this case Irish language fluency, with allocation to the Gaeltacht areas. The original complaint in 2011 was made at a time when An Garda Síochána was going through a period of contraction and this negatively impacted on recruitment in those years in the Gaeltacht areas.
