Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

That is an operational matter for the Garda Commissioner. We have made it clear to him on a number of occasions, including last year, that any resources required would be provided. We fast-tracked a number of gardaí through Templemore, including special units, and €1.3 billion has been spent on overtime. We will continue to do this.
