Gary Gannon (SD), Dublin Central

Did the Taoiseach need a high-level task force, taking over five months to deliver its report, to tell him that Dublin city centre needed more gardaí? On 9 May of this year, when he said he would commission a task force report, he said it would take 12 weeks and that he would bring back its findings before the summer, with an expectation the budget would be allocated as such. We got a report yesterday with ten decent recommendations, in fairness, but they have all been mentioned before and there is no budget or plan. Essentially, the city was used for a photo opportunity. What is the Taoiseach planning on doing with our report?
