Jim O'Callaghan (Dublin Bay South, Fianna Fail)

I thank the Deputy. Two months ago, I was down in Limerick and I had the opportunity to meet An Garda Síochána there and, indeed, representatives of Limerick Chamber of Commerce. I am aware of the issue in terms of the desire to get more gardaí on the streets in Limerick. I hear the same thing throughout the country. When it comes to the allocation of resources, however, I do not direct the Commissioner as to where he should send new recruits.
