I have a number of very brief questions, the first of which relates to the Central Statistics Office, CSO, and the statistics it issues "under reservation". What is the current status of that issue and how will it be resolved?

Was a protected disclosure made in relation to the 999 calls issue? Is that investigation now completed?

Is there an issue with staff retention? It has been reported recently that members who are not at retirement age are resigning. Is there an issue there that An Garda Síochána has identified? If so, what is being done to deal with it? Some of the changes made to rosters during the Covid period were welcomed by members. Are measures like that being considered which would be helpful or are there other reasons for the retention difficulties?

Finally, on the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement, ODCE, and its successor, the Corporate Enforcement Authority, CEA, a memorandum of understanding is to be signed relating to the deployment of gardaí to the authority. Is that up to a full complement at the moment? Has the memorandum of understanding been signed? A number of high-profile investigations within that organisation will require the involvement of gardaí. What is the position in that regard at the moment?
