Pa Daly: Does the Minister accept that when people are older when they enter Garda training, they are at a different stage of their lives than those at the traditional age of entry into the Garda? If somebody has a partner, children and all of that, it will be harder for them to uproot. Is the only option to open another training college in the Dublin area? Some 800 are going into the organisation...

Pa Daly: Did the Minister ask this committee to consider an option for retiring gardaí to remain in the Garda and work in non-core duties, perhaps including desk duties and passport duties? Perhaps they could work part time, 20 hours per week. Did the Minister ask the committee to consider that?

Pa Daly: The Minister mentioned money being put aside for public order vans and high-powered vehicles. Gardaí in west Dublin in particular tell me that not enough gardaí have done the training courses to drive the public order vans and there are backlogs for the driving courses. Has the Minister heard that?

Pa Daly: I believe there is a problem in the Prison Service at the moment. It is bursting at the seams and I think the Minister would accept that. Wherever there is a spare broom closet or office in a prison they seem to be looking at turning it into cells. There are too many of these that are three to a cell. A life was lost recently. Has any money been set aside for revamping or refurbishing...
