I thank the Minister for attending. I want to ask her a couple of things about Garda numbers and recruitment and so on. Can she give a little more detail on her opening remarks, particularly around the next stages of the Garda campaign and when it is likely to open?
The redeployment of Garda members to operational front-line duties is a significant change that has been happening over a number of years. Can the Minister detail more on that? Can she break down the staff numbers?
The Minister mentioned it, but I ask her to elaborate. Did she use the phrase "staff complement"?
