I assure the Deputy that the investment in personnel we have been discussing is complemented by the investment of resources across the board in An Garda Síochána. The Deputy will be aware that significant resources have been made available to the Garda to upgrade equipment in Garda stations, including ICT and email equipment. In addition, €46 million has been provided for Garda vehicles, some of which have been assigned to the Carlow-Kilkenny division. This investment will facilitate the provision of a more effective policing service. I have no doubt that the resources which are coming on stream will lead to an increase in Garda visibility in communities across Carlow-Kilkenny.
