An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Dail Éireann — 2024-11-05
============================================================

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I can only account to this House what I have been informed. I have been informed what I have relayed to this House by the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs. That is my information. That is all I can relay to this House.
In relation to Deputy Naughten, I can discuss that with the Minister but we are not proposing to make time available, to tell the truth, because we have a lot of legislation that we want to get through in the remaining days of this Dáil. I will ask that the Minister engages with the Deputy on the matter and I note his views as well regarding the issue of Garda numbers. In response to Deputy McGrath, I appreciate that Garda numbers is an important issue. That is why we reopened Templemore and why we see Templemore full and at capacity. It is also why we see more Garda recruits coming out in his county from the Garda College every 12 weeks.
