Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

It is a very constructive suggestion from Deputy Ó Cuív and I thank him for it. We have to look at that while, as the Deputy rightly suggests, we maintain standards as well. Each of the processes is important, such as fitness and vetting, and no one is disputing any of that. However, is there a more efficient way of moving through this, particularly at a time when we need more gardaí? There are quite a lot of people expressing an interest in becoming a garda and I know my colleague, the Minister for Justice, is working on this.
