Pa Daly: If they were better resourced and better protected, would they have been less exposed to such danger?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Dec 2023)

Pa Daly: I know that from the Dublin metropolitan region, DMR, south division, one sergeant and four gardaí come into Dublin city centre every day. How long does the Minister expect that drain of resources from DMR south to the city centre for extra policing to continue?

Residential Tenancies (Deferment of Termination Dates of Certain Tenancies) (No. 2) Bill 2023: Second Stage [Private Members] (12 Dec 2023)

Pa Daly: First, I want to praise those working in homeless services in Kerry County Council. Within the council's housing services, they have around 70 beds. Approximately 50 of these full, but they are just about managing because of their efforts to keep some beds in reserve. They are continually trying to source more beds. Much of their efforts are focused on keeping people out of emergency...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: An Garda Síochána (12 Dec 2023)

Pa Daly: There has been a number of engagements on this Bill. I will again mention the victims of the incident, including the parents, school community, bystanders, emergency services, council workers and gardaí, in particular the resting gardaí who came in at short notice. We have been hearing for a long time that the main issue has been a lack of a Garda presence on the streets. That...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: An Garda Síochána (12 Dec 2023)

Pa Daly: I am glad that the wording has been amended to "closed to new recruits" because for a long time, many spokespersons said the Garda College was closed, which, of course, it was not. When they talk to us, gardaí demand assistance with the Garda Reserve regulations. It has not been able to recruit since 2017. I heard what the Minister said about legislative amendments. We attended the...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: An Garda Síochána (12 Dec 2023)

Pa Daly: The numbers do not simply reflect the pay and conditions because, as the Minister said, there are increased stresses resulting from having to deal with things like serious road traffic accidents, people having taken their own lives and other types of stressful scenes. Gardaí also feel overstretched, burnt out and that no one has their back. It is interesting to hear the Minister...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: An Garda Síochána (12 Dec 2023)

Pa Daly: Much of this comes back to the number of gardaí being attested in Templemore. The Garda Commissioner said a number of weeks ago that the total for this year would be 714 but then last week a figure of between 700 and 800 was mentioned. Does the Minister have a figure for the number of attestations that have been brought forward for this month? Does she have a figure for the total for...
