I thank the witnesses for coming in today and for sharing such comprehensive opening statements. My first question is to An Garda Síochána. The new Bill centres on individuals being - again, we come back to the words - an immediate risk. Has An Garda Síochána seen situations where that narrow threshold has limited its ability to give care or early intervention safely? A second part of that question is whether, in the witnesses’ opinion, they think An Garda Síochána should have mandatory training across the board regarding mental health supports.
