To follow up on something, I am concerned around some of the experiences outlined, particularly regarding major events where community gardaí are taken out of circulation. Have there been conversations between Garda management and either association about Ireland's holding of the EU Presidency next year for six months? We know this will involve a number of high-profile events. Has there been discussion of the implications of this, whether leave would be cancelled or gardaí taken out of regional divisions and brought into Dublin or other places where meetings will be taking place?
