‹ Order of Business Garda compensation Bill
Summary
Noel Grealish asks about the Garda compensation Bill and recruitment to address rural policing concerns; the Taoiseach says the Bill is due later this year and staffing will reflect budgetary analysis.
When does the Taoiseach expect the Garda Síochána (compensation for malicious injuries) Bill to be published? In the course of its publication, will the Taoiseach agree to lift the recruitment ban? I am led to believe a large number of gardaí will retire this year and there is a general view among rural people that we will not have an adequate police service to patrol rural areas.
