But it is not big enough. The Minister of State talks about an application at the time. I understand the Military Road building is designed for 880 gardaí, which is 200 fewer than the number in Harcourt Street in 2016, and the number working in headquarters has increased by over 400 in the intervening five years. The building was only opened in November last year and it is too small to host all of those who are required to be hosted in headquarters. Would the Minister of State acknowledge that?
