Jerry Buttimer (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

I very much welcome the news by the Minister of the appointment of people to 33 positions, in particular those of 23 superintendents and eight chief superintendents, and the fact that consequential posts will be filled. That will augment the force, the members of which are doing great work. As a consequence of the new slimmed-down public service, are there plans to create new Garda divisions and structures in the Garda Síochána, the members of which are doing great work in our communities?
