Dr. Orlaigh Quinn:

To confirm, the gardaí are paid from the Garda Vote. In terms of whether the staff will move with the agency, we have been in discussions for quite some time with the team regarding who will go. The Civil Service will have options in terms of whether to go or to come back into the Department. As regards those who are taken on specifically with specific functions, we will consider each person separately in terms of the arrangements for them.
