Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

I refer to two pieces of promised legislation. The freedom of information (amendment) Bill is definitely promised to be published later this year. Will this be published in the next number of weeks? Will a Supplementary Estimate for An Garda Síochána be published? I spoke to a very senior Garda superintendent in the city who said that it will not be possible to carry out normal policing in this city because of the huge cost of the recent visits by two dignitaries to our shores. It would be a challenge for any organisation if €36 million was taken from its budget.
