-----no response is required. First, I will put on record my appreciation for Superintendent Ciara Lee, Superintendent Brian Conway and Superintendent Brian Murphy in Templemore for their professionalism and hospitality when the Oireachtas committee visited last week. Some really exceptional information was provided to the committee members who were in a position to go down. I wanted to put that on the public record.

There were a number of issues raised during that meeting with regard to training facilities and the capacity of Templemore to accommodate ongoing training, as opposed to new recruit training. I refer to continuing professional development and other matters such as firearms training and driving training among other things. It would be very beneficial to the committee if the relevant individuals within An Garda Síochána and the Department of Justice were to come before us so that we could hash this out because it is entirely related to the matters we have been discussing today.
