Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána

Mr. Aonghus O'Connor:
It is a complex matter. That is why we are working through the fully loaded cost model. As the Commissioner said, there are three tiers. We are working through that ourselves at the moment in relation to how we actually would manage that going forward.
The legislative basis is also being reviewed by our legal colleagues. We are not able to determine that as of yet. There are ongoing discussions across the whole Garda organisation on how to best manage that.
