This time last year, the Garda Commissioner published his strategy on the Garda reserve. It was a long-awaited strategy and it arose as a result of a recommendation in the report of the commission on the future of policing into the Garda Reserve. Can the Minister of State give an update to the House as to what is happening in respect of the Garda Reserve? Many members in this House believe that it is a valuable resource, but it is not being used enough and it could play a significant role in policing our community.
