Public Accounts Committee

Appropriation Accounts 2022
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána

9:30 am

Mr. Drew Harris:

The ten-year period is within the capital envelope we were provided for, but one does not have to look far beyond ten years to see that, particularly along motorway corridors, small towns or villages are going to become large towns and are going to grow considerably. We are very mindful of that and of the need for us, whenever there are big planning applications, to be in there as well, particularly with the local authorities to ask what they are planning for all the amenities that are required to serve such populations. Obviously, there is a requirement for school, health facilities, etc., and the Garda Síochána should be on that list in terms of what the provision is for us-----
