Mr. Bolger mentioned community gardaí and engagement. I know there is a move from the joint policing committees to these new local community safety partnerships. These are being enacted across the local authorities now but the destination has not been reached in this process. Do the witnesses think a vacuum has now been created between community gardaí and the communities they represent because these local community safety partnerships have not been set up yet?
