I appreciate that. The Commissioner knows the importance of people being able to walk into a Garda station locally and speak to whom they consider to be a local garda. It is important and that familiarity is the bedrock of An Garda Síochána in the area of community policing. I appreciate him saying that.

I turn to the non-public duty events and what the C and AG has highlighted. I welcome that the Commissioner has accepted those recommendations. In 2023, about which we are primarily speaking this morning, €7 million in fees were collected in that area. It appears a lot of work is required to manage that situation better through an audit trail, apportionment of costs and so on. Does the Commissioner accept there will be increases in fees for private events, concerts and so on, based on the C and AG's recommendations?
