Mr. Ronan Slevin:

That is a difficult question to answer. I will concentrate on the issue in terms of policing. Visibility on the street comes back to the main issue we have, which is resourcing within the job. The fact is that we are struggling to keep members but we also currently have in excess of 1,000 vacancies for members within An Garda Síochána if we go along the lines of the Government commitment in 2018 that we would have 15,000 guards. That has been reviewed upwards to 16,000 guards, which if accepted indicates a shortage of 2,000 guards on the street. That is more than 100 guards in a division who could be deployed. With that level of shortage of members, the consequence is a lack of visibility on the street and more people who are committing offences not being brought to justice. Unfortunately, that is something that we cannot solve, unless we have the resources to do it. I will leave it to my colleagues to respond to the questions on other matters.
