Regarding Operation Thor, the traffic corps and the transport element, is An Garda Síochána trying to increase and duplicate the mobile force? Again, in my area members of the traffic corps were taken from north Meath and redeployed in south Meath, which means that one part of the county has been left without an available traffic corps. I do not want the witnesses to focus on County Meath, but is An Garda Síochána trying to increase services nationwide or just strip an already stretched service?
