Mr. Declan Daly:

From the online perspective, we have three sergeants, a detective inspector, seven detective gardaí and two more have been allocated to us and will arrive next week. That is in the national unit. We are lucky in that the online child exploitation unit acts as a sort of clearing house. That unit, with those resources, however, does not have the capacity to deal with all cases. We recognise that. We have certainly used all the resources of An Garda Síochána.

In order to ensure that we have the best possible capacity to deal with this, we disseminate cases out locally for investigation.
