Public Accounts Committee

Garda Síochána - Review of Allowances

4:30 pm

Mr. Martin Callinan:

Yes. In fact, we have more than enough, I am afraid. It is something that is a matter in progress at the moment. We are discussing with Government colleagues the need to reduce the number of radios. As the Deputy is aware, the Tetra system provided for the blue light service, so the ambulance and fire brigade are catered for within that cadre. Given the levels at which we are now operating, we certainly do not need that number of radios. There is a cost involved, which we are trying to reduce.
