Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Yes, please, and send a copy to the Minister for justice. I will liaise with the Minister and talk to him in respect of it.
Deputy Conor McGuinness spoke about an over-reliance in routine policing and how a garda had not been seen in Portlaw. Visibility is improving. More and more gardaí are being recruited. The numbers applying are up significantly. The issue is now about how to get as many gardaí trained as quickly as we possibly can to get out there on the ground and to improve their visibility.
