Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2023-12-13
============================================================

Mary Fitzpatrick (FF), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I was getting to the point on security services. There are a number of very high-profile locations in my area. When we speak about security services we could be speaking about Connolly Station, Croke Park, which attracts more than 80,000 attendees, the GPO or O'Connell Street, or the Phoenix Park. The security services have to respond to incidents. I appreciate that the Minister may direct them under the legislation. How does the local community get to input into the process? I will stop there and allow the Minister to answer. I may come back with other questions if that is permitted.
