The Minister of State mentioned there was a pause in recruitment during the pandemic. This committee visited the Garda College in Templemore last week. I must say, I was very impressed by the level of professionalism in the college. Ethical and human rights priorities are interwoven into every aspect of the training. Some of the people there were keen to impress on us that the Garda College never closed. That is what they told us. There may have been a hybrid training model but the college kept going. Will the Minister of State comment? That seems to contradict the message that has come from the Government.
