Ms Justina Corcoran:

We fund the CAROs and we funded a training programme. We provided some €617,000 a year to train all of the local authority staff, from elected members to people on the roads. That is the funding that comes from our Department. There may be funding in other pockets on the wayside or on the airside, for example, from the Department of Transport. There could be pockets of funding for specific programmes but, as a Department funding the local authority staff in place, we have not done that.
