We do envisage that. An example of that is the divisional protective service units, whereby units within each of the 19 divisions will have a particular focus and capacity in the areas in which they are working. That will apply across the board. Economic crime and fraud divisions, and also other divisions, will be included. As the divisional models are rolled out, we will also see a particular focus on community policing. It is not all about buildings and structures; it is also about ensuring we have equipment and support for An Garda, an up-to-date fleet, bicycles for gardaí in towns and villages and the right IT and other technologies. As I mentioned, there is €72 million for overall IT expenditure. This is extremely important in making sure the Garda is up to date and can match so much of what is being done by its counterparts across Europe to share intelligence. It is about fighting local crime but also about making sure we can deal with international criminals and gangs and co-operate with our partners across Europe and internationally.
