Ms Oonagh McPhillips:

I am concerned about all public service recruitment. When I was talking about the IPO earlier, we have very strong targets with regard to our own recruitment to the Civil Service. It is challenging. There is a lot of competition in the employment market at the moment. People have options. I would love to see more gardaí, as would the Garda Commissioner and the Minister. We will do our best to get as many gardaí in as we possibly can, and we will work very closely with An Garda Síochána, the Public Appointments Service and with everybody involved in the recruitment process.
