Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following urgent matter: the urgent need to have more community gardaí engaged in frontline policing on the streets and working with people in their communities; that priority be given to investment in disadvantaged areas to urgently expand services to the youngest children in these communities by supporting pre-school and primary school initiatives; the urgent need to provide more social housing and to provide a clear Garda strategy, with resources, that deals effectively with the drug gangs that are destroying communities; and to make each of these issues a priority for the Government.
