If I take it down to basic levels, the sight of a Garda member on patrol, regardless of what the operating model is called, is one that most people strive for and the sense of security it gives people is priceless. We should never lose contact with that. My concern is that we seem to be reactive rather than proactive. In our geographical area, Drogheda and Dundalk are more high-incident areas than Cavan and Monaghan are. As a result, Cavan and Monaghan suffer when an incident occurs. That is why we do not see that visible presence. What are the criteria? Is the door open, perhaps in the future, to review that particular model for those counties? What needs to happen for the model to be reviewed?
