I am aware of the good work of the national protective services unit. My question is more from the domestic violence point of view. Where there are services and specialist training in local Garda stations, it makes a big difference. People always say they might have walked away from their case but they got talking to someone who understood where they were coming from. It is very important. I imagine the wait times with the DPP are as frustrating for the gardaí as they are for the people involved.
