The Department is going to launch a recruitment campaign for the Garda Reserve. When is that going to start? I have spoken to business owners and those in the higher echelons of the Garda. Those senior members have told me they want to recruit and that there is a need for a Garda presence in the north inner city of Dublin, in particular. They have not been able to provide that presence. The recruitment campaign has been promised for months. I know the regulations have left the Department and are with stakeholders. When is the recruitment campaign going to commence? When does the Minister of State expect those reservists to be taking their places where they are so badly needed?
