Paul McAuliffe (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

It has been a major game changer for Members of the Oireachtas and members of the force, because the idea that in 2018 the best way of me contacting my local community garda was to telephone the station and my name would be entered in a book that would be observed by a member when he or she attended work, depending on what the member's shift was, was archaic. The project was much needed.

I am sure it is reflected in the 2019 and 2020 accounts. What is the amount spent on this project? How many members have been supplied with mobile phone technology that allows them to access email and have direct contact with the public?
