The Minister spoke earlier about the ongoing work to build stronger and safer communities and his plans to recruit extra gardaí and increase the number of gardaí, which are very welcome. The visible presence of gardaí in uniform on our streets is very important for our communities. Many men and women would like to serve in the Garda Reserve. Can the Minister tell me when recruitment will begin with respect to the Garda Reserve?
