My next question is somewhat linked. On the provision of office facilities for Garda staff, co-location in Garda stations is not always required. Even in my area, there is an opportunity to develop an office building for Garda staff. Is that part of the programme for capital expenditure? There are pressures on some Garda stations because of their size.

On Templemore, recruitment is to begin shortly. Is there provision for additional training to deal with domestic, gender-based and sexual violence, or is it already a well-entrenched part of the programme? Is more funding required to enhance the training?
