============================================================

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

On first hearing that, it seems to make absolutely no sense that a Garda division would need to seek specific approval for overtime in a particular region. I will raise the matter with the Minister for Justice and get her to talk directly to the Deputy. The Government is committed to increasing Garda numbers. Garda resources, provision and visibility are crucial. We will continue to recruit gardaí in that space but I will raise the matter with the Minister for Justice.
