Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2023-10-04
============================================================

Maria Byrne (FG), Agricultural Panel

I thank Senator Davitt for temporarily taking the chair to allow me to speak. I thank the Minister for coming today. I welcome the civilians in the Public Gallery. I know there have been several communications and the Minister is aware of it. I thank her for her interest in the area when I spoke to her. I know any decisions will involve engagement with trade unions. It will not happen today or tomorrow. It will happen in 2025. I thank the Minister for stating that there will be engagement. No decisions will be made until everything has been looked at. I acknowledge that. It is important that people be listened to.
