Charles Flanagan (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

I put it to the Minister that he should not underestimate the importance of a canine unit for each Garda division. He should ensure that sufficient resources are made available to allow not only for the training of the dogs for each Garda division but for the location of a dog unit in the headquarters of every Garda division throughout the country. The case for this is overwhelming and must be undertaken.
