Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I will check the data. I do not doubt the Deputy's data but I do not have the data in front of me. I know Garda numbers overall are back in a position where we can make real progress because Templemore is finally effectively full. A new class is coming out every 12 weeks. We have provided significant funding for up to 1,000 more gardaí over the next 12 months and I have no doubt Meath will benefit from that in terms of additional gardaí.
