I nearly choked on my pecan pie when I saw that An Garda Síochána was going to spend €4m on recruitment specialists and a further €260,000 to bring in actors to engage in roleplay.

I then looked at my calendar wondering if it was April 1 and that somehow the reports by the media were a joke or delayed.
