That is brilliant. On Tuesday night, I attended a public meeting in Bettystown, where there is huge demand for the Garda station in east Meath to be moved. Is there any update on that? The move is a long time in the making. It is a rapidly growing urban area that simply does not have the Garda resources it needs or a fit-for-purpose station that is open more than four hours a week to serve a massive community.
There is great frustration and anger, and I gave a commitment the other night that I would raise that directly here with the witnesses today.
