I note the Minister's response and the fact that it constitutes a useful explanatory memorandum on community policing. I hear where she is coming from in the sense that we deserve dedicated and motivated gardaí who are willing to give 100% to protect the communities they serve. The Garda Reserve was mentioned, and I gather that is on a part-time basis in any case. The Garda Reserve could be deployed to be more involved in community policing. I appreciate the response, which is perhaps something on which I could have a word with the Minister when I see her later.
