The fact there is uncertainty around this is a significant concern for the ordinary rank and file in An Garda Síochána. They should be presented with increased allocations for what is a significant issue for them. We are trying to improve supervision, management ability and capacity within the force and as of now we are not sure about the specific subhead and the allocation for training and development. It should be clarified for them and for the members of the force. As the Chairman said, it is a significant issue for them.
