Public Accounts Committee

Appropriation Accounts 2022
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána

9:30 am

Mr. Drew Harris:

I acknowledge that. For the first time, this year, our public attitudes survey will go down to divisional level so we will get that sort of local sentiment around people's local fear of crime, and Garda visibility, response and interaction. That will give us a division by division picture as opposed to a national picture. A national picture can look very positive but I appreciate the impact of crime and disorder issues on individuals can be very different. That is something we want to address. I also point to the new community safety arrangements that are coming in place where we will work with other partners in resolving these more long-term issues around the quality of life in places.
