I have another question. I am from the Carlow-Kilkenny constituency. Many stations were closed in Kilkenny and some were sold. Where stations were closed there is talk about getting gardaí back to them. Two gardaí were appointed just last week, one for my parish of Ballyhale and another for Stoneyford. If a station has been sold and a garda is appointed to that parish, how does the Garda handle that? Is the Garda trying to get rented accommodation or does it just work from the main stations?
