Thomas Pringle: Subhead A8 for superannuation cost includes an underspend of €16.5 million. The document states that was the "result of a welcome lower than expected retirements and issues relating to the migration of Garda pension payments to the National Shared Service Office".

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...

Thomas Pringle: Under the capital spend, a €6 million fleet has been reorganised. The document states that the investment will allow the Garda to purchase two water cannons. How much are the water cannons costing? Will people be trained to drive them when they have been bought, given the difficulties in getting training places for services?

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...
