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

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

However, I am taking the Deputy’s broader point and on this occasion I am agreeing with him in that we obviously need to do more to increase the Garda presence. I assure him that the programme for Government, and also the pipeline we are now seeing from Templemore, will see us on a more positive trajectory as a result of the foundations we have put in place over the past several years.
I also assure the Deputy that the safety of our members when out and about patrolling is of paramount importance to the Government and Commissioner.
