Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2023-12-12
============================================================

Robbie Gallagher (FF), Labour Panel

My colleague, Senator Joe O'Reilly, and I are conscious that in the area we share, new Garda members are not coming to Cavan town or to Monaghan town. It has been a while since the stations in those towns have had new recruits. This is an issue that people are conscious of and it would be nice to know that some of the people passing out now would be heading to the country, so to speak, as opposed to all of them heading to the capital city. Go raibh maith agat. I thank the Cathaoirleach for his latitude.
