Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

I have often spoken about the need for multi-agency action to be taken in relation to dealing with the issues of security, safety, antisocial behaviour and criminal activity in real terms, whether in Dublin, Dundalk or anywhere else. I agree with what Deputy Moynihan said. We were all taken by Grace Lynch's parents in relation to the issue scramblers. We heard from the Garda Commissioner about the fact An Garda Síochána would need a framework to operate in, even if it had the training, the drones and all the other pieces. A particular issue needs to be dealt with. Grace's mother, Siobhán, spoke about the fact threats had been made to her on TikTok. She spoke about the need for a greater reaction from An Garda Síochána. It is a particular issue that would need to be brought up with the social media companies.
