Antisocial Behaviour
Dail Éireann — 2022-10-20
============================================================

David Stanton (FG), Cork East

I commend the Minister and the Minister of State for working on the youth justice strategy. It is a slow burner but there are real benefits in it. Has the Minister given consideration to expanding the community alert service across the country? There was a time when there were joint policing committees, JPCs, in every municipal district. That is not the case now. They are only at county level, which brings them away from the local aspect. I asked the Minister to have another look at the earlier question about the Garda Reserve. It is very disappointing that that might not happen until this time next year. It should happen early next year, not later.
