I absolutely do. The 100 vehicles are not all public order vans. They are a mixture of vehicles for the different fleets. There is funding for training in this year's budget. I expect it to include driver training as well as firearms and any other type of training that is required. There has been a significant increase in the number of gardaí who are trained for public order but I do not have a clear breakdown to show if all of those have also been trained in driver training. I can get that information for the Deputy.
