Jim O'Keeffe (Cork South West, Fine Gael)

It is not often we get the opportunity to discuss the uniform of the Garda Síochána but as it has been mentioned I wish to ask the Minister how long it has been since the uniform was redesigned. Is there any question of a redesign at present? Is it an issue that is looked at generally from the point of view of comfort, efficiency and so on, particularly bearing in mind the large number of women gardaí?
