Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Garda Reform and Related Issues: Discussion

Mr. Drew Harris:

The final decision has not been made, but a proposal has been put to me. If I may, I will reserve that, as we want to look in the round at the question of where our divisional headquarters will be. The Deputy made salient points about what we should consider. We are putting in a divisional headquarters. In part, that is symbolic. On the other hand, we are trying to minimise the effects as much as possible by ensuring that we have a good representation of command and rank throughout the divisions. The Deputy's points in respect of Waterford's position are received and understood. We will bear them in mind when we come to making a final decision.
