Helen McEntee (FG), Meath East

As the Deputy rightly stated, I was asked a number of weeks ago by Senator Ahearn to meet a group of people. I am pleased to be meeting them today to hear their concerns. The Deputy is not right in saying that we are not providing support or investment for the Garda. More than €2 billion has been invested in An Garda Síochána in the budget this year. There has been an increase of 13% in the number of gardaí, with an increase of 10% specifically in Clonmel and an increase in civilian gardaí. That said, what I want to do today is hear the concerns of members of the community-----
