An Garda Síochána
Dail Éireann — 2022-12-06
============================================================

Mick Barry (PBP), Cork North-Central

What is the Minister's position on the arming of gardaí? What is her position as regards the idea of more gardaí being armed with firearms or tasers? I am coming from a position of opposing steps in that direction. It has been a matter of some public debate recently with the comments of the Tánaiste so I am interested in hearing the Minister's position.
