An Garda Síochána
Dail Éireann — 2024-09-26
============================================================

David Stanton (FG), Cork East

Would the Minister of State agree with me that a lot of Garda time is spent on bureaucracy, behind computers, filling out forms, writing reports and so on when they should be on the beat? There is serious frustration there because of that. Have any studies been carried out in respect of this and can anything be done to alleviate the issue?
