Going back to ICAAN, while 74% did agree that there should be plans to fund additional services such as gardaí on patrol and ambulance services, I have to say that given the difficulties that I find in Kerry with ambulance services, while any additional assistance would be welcome it is a real long shot. We had constant complaints that there are not enough gardaí on the beat, particularly on a Saturday night in some of the bigger towns in Kerry, especially during the tourist season. Do our witnesses have any views on the opening hours of the off-licences, the earlier opening hours and the running of them in general?
