Mr. Drew Harris:

In respect of the reserve, I provided evidence earlier that we are in the final furlong of new reserve regulations. We plan to go to a recruitment competition specifically for reservists in the first quarter of next year. Members of the reserve work for us, in effect, voluntarily. I am not clear around the numbers involved in the €1,000 bounty. I do not have that information to hand but it can be provided in writing.

Regarding policing in south Kilkenny and the points the Deputy made at the previous meeting in respect of drugs and resources, I will revert in a written report.
