Mr. Noel Waters:

Yes, it was a commitment in the programme of Government to the reopening of pilot stations, which is part of a bigger commitment to look at what was known as disbursement of Garda resources and Garda boundaries generally. The two ran together in tandem. It fell then to the Department. There was also a commitment in the programme for Government for this to move within two months of Government being formed. That was clear in Government policy. It then fell to the Department to put in place measures and steps to implement that.
