Can't/Won't.
Their enforcement activities on land are almost non existent.

They could on 15% but only NS can do 85%

Getting back to strengths and the future, it seems that even for maximum pension years, for those that joined after a date in 2013, the pension earned will only be 20% of final salary. This will mean an exodus, at the earliest pension age, to get private sector employment to raise families and provide for future. It saves money--if you get injured in service there is no hospital and when you retire there is no money. Well done VFM!!.

The present permitted strengths of the NS in CS4 ( establishments) does not reflect crews for each of the 9 ships currently in service. Quotes in various sources indicate that no strength increase was allowed for the last two P60's. Knowing the logic of the mandarins, when P31. P41, and P42 are decommissioned, they will strike off around 150 personnel or more, shuffle the figures, and curtail recruitment. Whatever recruitment is left needs to be redesigned to positive recruitment i.e. Right age group, medically fit, and Leaving Cert. Standard, no interviews or exclusion procedures, take into training and finally select by Final Approval.

The Cover of today's Irish Star is a sad indictment of the current staffing crisis.
