On Garda presence, many senior gardaí were asking about the Garda Reserve regulations earlier on, also in the middle of the summer. I see from the Minister's opening statement that we will now not be ready to recruit until next year. Does the Minister accept that her Department was slow to get those regulations out and that it would have helped us have a bigger presence on the streets of the capital city and other cities if those regulations had been pushed out a bit more quickly?
