I would like to focus on the future, looking beyond Christmas and beyond what has happened. Over the next 12 months how would the Minister like to see the policing of demonstrations change? What level of policing can we expect, particularly in Dublin? I think people realise that due to the actions of the Minister and the Garda Commissioner, there has been a very strong uptick in the presence of gardaí and policing in Dublin. This has been very welcome during the last week and it is guaranteed up to Christmas.

Much positive work has been done regarding extra recruitment and the changes that have been made. What are the plans to take this work into 2024?
