There is €10 million in extra vehicles and more resources have been provided for the Garda. More are required and there is no question about it. As the economy improves, the resources will become available, and need to become available, for our Garda. I note what Senator Noone mentioned about 600 gardaí being injured in the line of duty last year. I certainly favour greater penalties for those assaulting gardaí or any emergency personnel.
