Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Policing Matters: Garda Commissioner

2:00 pm

Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

Yes. It has been tremendously successful, as the Senator said. People like to see them, particularly in densely populated areas. As part of the investment that has been made, we have purchased 100 new bicycles. It is our intention that they will be deployed to the various areas. It is part of our visibility in the community. We have got feedback from the community on this initiative. Communities like it and it is a great way of the gardaí engaging with the people. Our members also like it as a method of engaging with the community because they are very agile and can respond very quickly. This is a very good initiative.
