Okay. Several retirements are due at the same time. We talked to the Garda Commissioner about this matter last week. It is not an ideal situation from the perspective of workforce planning or institutional memory, etc. I asked the Garda Commissioner about another aspect where he said he was not seeing a pattern. Anecdotally, however, I am hearing about people retiring before they are due. Additionally, there have been some cases where people have been suspended and they have retired in that period, before their retirement date. Is the Policing Authority examining this aspect?
