Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I would prefer not to comment on any individual case that is before the courts. I can say that any inappropriate cancellation of 999 calls is a serious issue. The Garda Commissioner has assured the Minister for Justice that when somebody calls 999, they can expect and trust that a member of the Garda will help. That should always be the case and should always have been the case. The Garda Commissioner is before the Policing Authority today and will give a full account of the serious shortcomings that occurred, outline the steps that have been taken to ensure they do not happen again and will answer questions on the matter.
