An Coimisinéir Cúnta Finn i láthair chun na hathruithe atá molta ar rannáin na nGardaí a phlé. Tabhair faoi deara go dtabharfar tús áite do cheisteanna a chuirfear isteach i scríbhinn roimh an chruinnithe.

Glacfar le ceisteanna ó aon duine go ndéanann póilíneacht an cheantair difear dóibh. Caithfidh ceistitheoirí a n-ainm agus seoladh a thabhairt, ach coimeádfar an t-eolas seo go hiomlán faoi rún agus ní dhéanfar é a phoibliú. Tugtar comhairle don bpobal nach mbeidh sé indéanta i gcásanna áirithe eolas a chur ar fáil nó freagra a thabhairt ar cheist ar chúiseanna dlíthiúla, i gcásanna a bhaineann le duine aonair nó le heolas a bhfuair na Gardaí nó an t-údarás áitiúil faoi chuing rúin, nó sa chás gur úsáid thar fóir acmhainní a bheadh i gceist a leithéad a dhéanamh.

At the West Waterford AC Half Marathon on the Greenway last weekend, Waterford Council funded the water station at the finish line, where reusable cups and water fountains were supplied.
Working with Refill Ireland, tanks of filtered water were provided at the finish line to fill reusable tumblers for all participants. Used tumblers could be placed in dedicated collection bins to allow for reuse at other events. This saved plastic cups for 636 runners being thrown away on the day.
