Margaret Murphy O'Mahony (Cork South West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

There are five community gardaí in the entire west Cork division. I am advised that, from current resources, the chief superintendent has secured eight detectives and one detective sergeant, but these members need now to be urgently replaced. The Garda cannot be held responsible in circumstances where adequate numbers are not maintained and I call on the Minister to address this matter without delay.
