Go raibh maith agat. Before I open the floor to members, the Commissioner's own tenure in his post is coming to an end. We wish him well in his retirement and in whatever he does next. Is it a concern to him that, to use the euphemism, people do not appear to be lining up to replace him? One media article I saw stated that none of the serving assistant commissioners, who have spent their entire policing careers in the Garda, have applied for the role. Does the Commissioner have any concerns around the numbers purportedly applying for the job?
