Mr. Liam Kidd:

There are 284 staff in the organisation, whether contract or full-time resources. At leadership and management level, I have identified five leaders, that is, principal officer or chief superintendent equivalent and 14 assistant principal officers or superintendent equivalent. They are at the management and leadership level - the head of function to run ICT for An Garda Síochána. When I arrived there were four at the leadership level and eight at the management level. We have invested considerably through our ICT strategy in certain areas. I put together a HR strategy, which Mr. Kelly referred to earlier in the document. That is what is currently being implemented. We went down to one head of function and four managers, but we now have three heads of function and are recruiting two more. We are starting to put in place the new resources. A number of managers have arrived. Some have left, but we are starting the process of recruiting.
