Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

As the Deputy may be aware, in the budget, the Minister for Justice secured funding to recruit 1,000 new gardaí next year. Those gardaí will obviously be distributed across the country in accordance with what the Garda Commissioner considers right. We have never had more gardaí or a better-funded Garda Síochána service. I appreciate that this is also against the backdrop of an increasing population, which we have to take into account. I do not have the information in front of me on the exact resources for Meath but I will ask the Minister for Justice to provide it to the Deputy’s office.
