Ms Noirín O'Sullivan:
Obviously, the more people one has, the more one can do. However, I do not think it has impacted. To give an example, our detection rates and our ability to investigate crime have not been impacted by it. Even with regard to the subject of road traffic, obviously because we have lost people the numbers dedicated to road traffic enforcement had to be reduced, nevertheless it still means our enforcement activities are up.
