The Deputy is welcome to come in to the committee room. I will move on to the next questioner and we will, perhaps, come back to Deputy Costello. Deputies Pa Daly and Pringle are also on the call. Would either of the Deputies like to come in at this time? No. We will move on to the next head. Before we leave the Garda Vote - I know it is not strictly relevant although there may be a small class of an impact - I welcome the medals for gardaí, which the Minister announced recently, for the centenary of the force. The force epitomised community-policing values throughout Covid and served us with distinction. It is great to see recognition of that and all they have done in the past century. The Minister can take us through the next vote.
