I will not labour the point. Concerns have been raised with respect to the vast area that will now come under superintendents and the like. There will have to be a lot of talks with the representative bodies as to how things will be managed. I understand the Garda Representative Association has some issues with the Bill and I will encourage its members to engage with the Minister of State.

Nevertheless, we are where we are and the Bill is progressing. I wish the Garda Síochána the best of luck as it carries out the actions the Bill will require of it.
