Ms Paula Hilman:

A lot of that will come under the training we get currently, both the training from the college and the ongoing training and observations of gardaí dealing with something. We have those escalated responses. We have negotiators trained. It sometimes can go into a more protracted period of time and that is when we would use our trained negotiators to talk to individuals if something like that happened. We have various elements of training that we would use if there was that immediate high risk.
