I thank the Minister for her response on this important issue and her hard work on increasing the budget allocated to An Garda Síochána. It is welcome. An issue for communities I represent concerns rural crime and An Garda Síochána's security and intelligence capabilities, referenced in the future of policing plan. What additional supports can we provide for counterintelligence efforts and measures against cybercrime? It is important we have measures in these areas. We saw recently in the riots in Dublin that counterintelligence, when mobs look to assemble, would enable us to act swiftly through a central intelligence agency to counteract their efforts.
