The Minister is not answering the question, so I will move on to the next one. I think we all accept the Garda Reserve regulations need to be implemented as soon as possible. Senior gardaí have been crying out for this for the past six months at least. We now hear they are not going to be implemented, which means reserve gardaí cannot be recruited until after Easter. Will the Minister accept that she has been slow in getting the regulations implemented so that recruitment can take place? Recruitment has not taken place since 2017, as the Minister said herself.
