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.
