Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Like everyone in this House, I am very concerned about the situation developing in Drogheda. Additional gardaí and Garda resources have been provided. I ask people to support An Garda Síochána in its work and to provide it with any information they have. I thank An Garda for the excellent job it is doing. Any decisions on the deployment of further resources or 24-hour surveillance are a matter for the Garda Commissioner, as it should be.
