This is not even a supplementary question, but in fairness to whatever civil servant drafted that reply, I do not believe he or she got the concept behind my proposal. It is most likely that the Garda Síochána Act 2005 will be amended in any event in light of events at the Committee of Public Accounts and so on. When that happens, I will propose that a role in law be prescribed for the Garda Reserve in supporting community groups by advising vulnerable older people. However, I thank the Minister of State and I appreciate that reply.
