That's been guaranteed by the Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, in the Dáil this lunchtime.
The commitment came as the Dáil continues to debate yesterday's Spring Statement.
The Taoiseach says the government is fully committed to abolishing U-S-C over time – with cuts that will continue this October.

Garda Paul Crowley, the GRA Central Executive Committee Member for Clare, says members of the force here are under severe financial pressure.
