It is, but there may be time for a second round. I have a few short questions before we begin a second round. They concern Garda training and the specifics of it. I visited Dolphin House yesterday, where much of the family law and childcare law is taken care of. Women's Aid and Men's Aid Ireland also have offices there.

We were talking about the need for a liaison officer for An Garda Síochána to be able to receive complaints from people who were disclosing abuse or identifying risky situations. We talked about a liaison officer from Tusla too, although I think there is a slightly stronger presence there. We talked about the training that had been provided to An Garda Síochána in the context of dealing with domestic violence and coercive control. There are new offences relating to coercive control and coercive behaviours. There has been a roll-out of protective services units throughout An Garda Síochána's various divisions. Part of the training was interrupted by Covid, including the physical training being delivered. It is very different when delivered online. There is a solid training programme, although it could be expanded. I am interested in the details of the training that need to be provided to An Garda Síochána in Templemore and on an ongoing basis. The witnesses have all talked about training. What is the detail and what do they need to hear?
