There will be one final round of three minutes for me. We will have the Commissioner out by 1 p.m. To return to the incident in Carlow and the controlled delivery operations prior to that, I presume in a operation like this at some level in An Garda Síochána there is an assessment of risk and of the resources that might be required to address that risk. Will the Commissioner outline how that takes place?
