I got the clear impression - I will consult Deputy Alan Kelly because it was his line of questioning that elicited the response - that for the foreseeable future Assistant Commissioner Leahy did not anticipate, if he were given additional resources and 800 or 208 new gardaí, sending some of them to Stepaside. He anticipated that he would be sending them to Tallaght, Ballymun and other areas in which there was probably a higher crime rate.
