Summary

A Deputy highlighted high crime and inadequate Garda coverage in Dublin’s suburbs, especially the south; the Minister said staffing would be reviewed when recruits became available.

I am calling Deputy Brennan.

Will the Minister impress on the Garda the special crime situation in the Dublin suburbs and continue to draw their attention to the fact that the Dublin suburbs has the highest crime rate, and, in particular, if he will look at the situation in the Dublin south suburbs where two Garda stations are trying to cater for over 100,000 people?

I appreciate the Deputy's concern. When Garda recruits become available a review of the employment position will be made by the commissioner.
