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

As we both know, Tipperary is a very large county geographically and has benefited from increased Garda resources in recent years. I agree with the Deputy that more will be necessary. He can be confident that will be the case. The number of people going through Templemore is going to increase very significantly in the coming months. I cannot comment on the issue of the chief superintendent directly. It is probably a matter for the Garda Commissioner rather than the Minister for Justice but I will alert the Minister to the fact that it was raised here today and perhaps she can contact the Deputy directly.
