Charles Flanagan (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of urgent national importance, namely, the continual and chronic underfunding of the Garda Síochána highlighted in a recent independent report by the Garda audit committee, particularly against the background of wealthy, well resourced criminal gangs and the continual litany of gangland violence and murders throughout the State, particularly in Limerick.

The Ceann Comhairle should not look at me so crossly. I raise this matter every day.
