Joe Neville: I will focus on the issue at hand and what we are here to discuss. I came here to welcome the Bill in a changing world from the Government benches.

I know they all have very busy schedules and I can see by the size of their briefing pack that a lot of work has gone into this. I thank them for coming. I am from a Garda family. My dad was a superintendent in the Garda and my brother is a Garda as well, for full disclosure. That is just to note that any questions I ask are coming...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Joe Neville: I know there are difficulties, be it people putting camera phones or cameras in the faces of gardaí. It creates a very different dynamic for gardaí, the view of them and their role in society than what they might have had in previous eras. That brings its own difficulties.

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Joe Neville: We have to try to resolve that. That is interesting. I turn to the abatements for events. My dataset was the superintendent in north County Kildare. I know what it takes for Oxegen. I know what it took back in the day for the Ryder Cup. It was a busy area, which I know first hand.
