The Garda Commissioner is seeking to implement an ambitious programme of reform. That has come from the commission which evaluated the Garda. We have to put our confidence in the Commissioner to manage human resource issues in a way that is in accord with that reform programme. I am sure he will seek to be accommodating to individuals as best he can but we have set him an ambitious programme of change and we have to give him the support as he gets on with that challenge.
