That is in no way to dismiss the reality of crime or the experience of victims.

In terms of recruitment, as I mentioned, funding has been provided to recruit 1,000 new gardaí this year. More than 90 entered Templemore in November. Mor than 130 entered in the following intake. Another 154 will be in the next intake. We are confident that even when taking account of the challenges in recruitment due to retirements and resignations, we will see a meaningful net increase in the number of gardaí this year.
