I thank the Deputy for raising that issue. I do not have exact detail in respect of the funding for Kildare County Council at present. I will raise it with my colleague, the Minister, Deputy Browne. The Deputy correctly identifies that the population of Kildare is increasing very significantly. Obviously there are significant pressures to ensure public services are available. I will go back and have a look at the figures for gardaí in Kildare, but it is the case there are demands for gardaí everywhere and we just need to get more into the force to ensure every part of the country can have more of them.
