Mr. Drew Harris:

In respect of the composition of the organisation, we are at approximately 28% or 29%. On a European comparison we would be one of the best with respect to gender representation. In our latest recruitment competition it is recorded that approximately 40% of our applicants are women, so those are very positive. We have very powerful women represented throughout the senior leadership team and senior management within the organisation. All of that is positive with respect to the outlook, behaviour and culture within An Garda Síochána. There is obviously more to do. We hosted a recent International Association of Women Police conference and that really threw down the gauntlet about what else might be done in respect of increasing the number of women within An Garda Síochána, particularly within the ranks of those who are sworn members. I am very conscious I am sitting beside Deputy Commissioner Coxon. I wonder whether she has more to add in respect of this.
