Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Policing Matters: Garda Commissioner
2:00 pm
Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:
Perhaps Deputy Commissioner Ó Cualáin, might talk about that issue. We have plans in place for an increase. As I mentioned, we are working very closely with the IFA, Muintir na Tíre and Neighbourhood Watch. The scheme has been tremendously successful. It provides a sense of civic togetherness and results in people working together and watching out for one another. It is, therefore, very welcome. I ask Mr. Ó Cualáin to elaborate on it.
