In the real world, where I live, many constituents have contacted me over incidents. These might not be big or headline incidents but they are to those who pick up the phone to call the gardaí. The gardaí themselves say they do not have a car available on the night, and that is for big areas like Clondalkin or Lucan. This is an issue and it needs to be addressed.
