Following on from that, I am not sure what the figure is because we do not have it but there are 14,200 gardaí. Let us say the figure is 1,000 people. Is it possible that another 500 of those could be assigned to police work rather than administrative work? What is the target?

Is it one year, two years or three years? It is about making the Garda more effective because a big complaint is the insufficient number of gardaí on the streets.
