Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

Four years after the Government approved the system, it is now operational, but it should not have taken so long. We provided the resources and following a tendering process the system is now in place and available to the Garda Síochána, which is as good as any system in use anywhere in the world. That issue has been dealt with, but it should not have taken so long.

The Deputy referred to new Garda stations and Garda cars. We have a total of 14,000 gardaí.
