Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Policing Matters: Garda Commissioner

2:00 pm

Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

Deputy Comissioner Ó Cualáin, was previously the assistant commissioner in the western region and as such, is very familiar with it. To answer the Senator's question, we keep the matter of resources under review. Resources are deployed at the airport, as required. However, when they are not required, they can be redeployed to other areas where need arises. The local chief superintendent keeps the matter under review.
