We have had the Minister for Justice and Equality in this House on a wide variety of legislation in the past few weeks, and this week is no exception. The Leader will respond in terms of the justice debates, but I merely note that we will have the Minister in tomorrow on the Garda Síochána (Policing Authority and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill, the Prisons Bill 2015 and the Criminal Justice (Burglary of Dwellings) Bill, all of which are being taken tomorrow. In light of the recent study showing the 70% recidivism rate for burglary offences, our debate on the burglary Bill will be even more welcome. Many of us spoke on that Bill last week when it came before the House on Second Stage.

The Government is making it easier.

It is a targeted Bill aimed, in particular, at tackling high recidivism rates for burglary offences. It is ironic to hear Fianna Fáil speaking about reversing Government policy. Government policy is to recruit more gardaí. There is more recruitment now for gardaí. Let us not forget it was Fianna Fáil in government that stopped recruitment.

Was the Senator listening to me? I stated there are 700 fewer gardaí in Dublin than there was last year.

A Leas-Chathaoirligh, I did not interrupt Senator Paschal Mooney.

I am interrupting Senator Ivana Bacik because she is not listening. The Senator is merely doing the Government's spin.

The Senator should allow Senator Ivana Bacik to address the Chair.

There are 700 fewer gardaí on the streets of Dublin where the Senator lives.

Senator Ivana Bacik to continue, without interruption.

It is Fianna Fáil which began the practice of putting a freeze on Garda recruitment. Let us not forget that.

Why does the Senator not answer that?
