Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The Government has provided very substantial capital moneys through the Department of Justice and Minister for Justice to An Garda Síochána in respect of the capital requirements of An Garda Síochána, including Garda stations. The Garda Commissioner has operational authority in terms of the deployment of those resources. I understand fully the needs of County Meath and the Laytown-Bettystown area in particular. Other Deputies have been in touch with me about this matter, which will be kept under review. I will speak to the Minister for Justice about it.
