But that language is not being used for the Garda. It is trying to get back up to 15,000. The language is not being used in the National Cyber Security Centre, which is also seeking to increase its headcount. Therefore, how is it acceptable to speak about stabilisation in the Defence Forces when it is not acceptable in any other sector? How come the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications can seem to get money from the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform if it is seeking to increase the salaries in the National Cyber Security Centre? How come the Department of Justice can get an extra €10 million overnight for Garda overtime for O'Connell Street? Is it that those two line Departments are held in higher esteem than the Department of Defence?
