Mr. Drew Harris:

That is a decision for the local chief. He needs to make the bid. We have to manage the resources that we have but our resource pool is growing so all of us are in a better place now. We have turned the corner, we can see that our resource pool is growing. In January we will see another 150 Garda members graduate from Templemore. They will be very welcome. That is on top of the 124 who graduated last month. The organisation has turned this corner in terms of resourcing. Coupled with a roster that better meets the policing demand, these are big-impact issues for us.
