If I can continue making my point concerning section 68 of the Bill, and to refer to section 68(3), I have talked about the reasonable resources in this context. Section 68(3)(b) refers to "any priorities of relevance to such a plan that may be determined by the Minister for the period to which the plan relates". Can the Minister please expand on how the priorities will be established? Will they be done in consultation with anybody? Is it a matter for the Department or is it one for the Minister, working with the Garda Commissioner and the board, or A.N. Other. If we could get some details as to the priorities in terms of the relevance and how this would work in respect of section 68(3)(b) of the Bill, I would be grateful. I may have other questions on this section, but I will allow the Minister to respond now. I thank the Cathaoirleach.
