I thank Ms Hall for that answer. I am now going to move onto another topic. At the end of February 2022, there were 227 sworn members of An Garda Síochána at the rank of superintendent or higher. Of these, 38 were women while 189 of their counterparts were male. The Policing Authority is responsible for carrying out selection competitions for the senior ranks of An Garda Síochána. What efforts are being made to address that imbalance?
