Ms Paula Hilman:

We have been rolling out training in terms of the 50 gardaí who have taken part in the pilot in Limerick and we have also rolled out mental health first aid training. All of the executive and senior leadership team have undertaken training, and I have undertaken it myself with my other SLT colleagues. Both in terms of responding to calls for services and also looking after our own people within our organisation, this is something we are very committed to. We recognise it forms a part of many of the calls for service that we get today.

Without naming anyone, Mr. Smart might have examples of the lived experience that we have had with CAST.
