Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We have had a number of debates about this. I am sure the Deputy was happy at the meeting in Ballymascanlon to point out that €200 million would be allocated to the Garda for information sharing and information capacity enhancement. We have joined the Schengen information system, which will mean every garda on the beat will have that information. The college in Templemore is open with 600 people to be recruited next year. Money has been allocated for proper vehicles and facilities for gardaí to do their job. These issues are discussed and commented on by the Minister for Justice and Equality and the Garda Commissioner.
