‹ Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation Border garda resources
Summary
Deputy Healy-Rae criticised remarks by a Minister of State saying gardaí had let down Border communities and argued the Government had instead failed to resource them. The Tánaiste replied that significant extra resources had been provided for the Border region.
What does the Tánaiste have to say about the comments of a Minister of State, Deputy D'Arcy, who said gardaí had let down the people living in Border counties? Does the Tánaiste realise the Government let down gardaí there by not giving them resources such as Garda cars and cutting overtime? Rank and file gardaí throughout the country were hurt by the comments made by a Minister of State that they had let down the people in question. It is not right.
