Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

I thank Deputy McGrath for raising this issue. While there has been an exchange here about Dublin, I absolutely appreciate that our cities such as Cork also face issues and need adequate policing to be in place. I have a note here regarding national garda levels and the recruitment ambitions that we have, but I know what the Deputy is particularly concerned about is that local issue, the organisation of gardaí within Cork and the need for Cork to get the gardaí it needs. I will make sure the Minister for Justice, Deputy O'Callaghan, is aware of the issue that the Deputy has raised. I am sure he will do his best, and I am sure he will be encouraged to do so by the Taoiseach, to deal with the issue to which the Deputy has referred.
