Pat Carey (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail)

I do not engage day-to-day with CAB but the new Garda Commissioner's background in that area will inform much of the policing. The profiling the Deputy mentions operates in my area and has potential for other areas. Asset freezing may be a matter for domestic legislation but it is worth exploring the possibility of reducing it from seven years. CAB has begun to localise many of its operations but I am not sure whether that is happening de facto or de jure. The results of policing in some parts of the city indicate that CAB is closely involved there.
