Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed)

Pádraig O'Sullivan (Cork North-Central, Fianna Fail)
It relates to protests, not necessarily protests against IPAS centres but protests in general, including the ones that have happened outside the walls of Leinster House. Do the witnesses have any idea of the overall budget nationally and whether the resources that are allocated are actually going towards policing large-scale events, be they protests against IPAS centres or the Raise the Roof march coming up, although I do not wish to give advertisement to any protest? Do the witnesses have any idea of the percentage or number of resources devoted to this area?
