Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Catherine Connolly: My question on the Irish language arises because An Coimisinéir Teanga did a report and found that An Garda Síochána was not complying with its duty under the language Act. That is the context. It might be looked at.

Catherine Connolly: Tá an deis á tapú agam anois córas iarnróid éadroma do chathair na Gaillimhe a ardú. Tá an cheist seo thar a bheith tábhachtach. Is í an cheist i ndáiríre ná an bhfuil an dánacht agus an chrógacht san Aire ceannaireacht a thaispeáint agus glacadh leis an gcoincheap seo chun córas iarnróid éadroma...

Catherine Connolly: I welcome that the Government will prioritise transport in the revised plan. There is no sense of urgency when it comes to Galway city. Its growth has been hampered. It simply cannot develop. I do not have time to go into the lack of infrastructure when it comes to basic sewerage facilities. That is for another day and I have raised it before. I am sticking with just one issue today as...

Catherine Connolly: I have only two minutes so I hope I will pick my words effectively and usefully. Since dawn this morning, 43 Palestinian people have been killed by Israeli attacks. On Monday, 74 people were killed, 30 of them at a seaside café used by journalists, activists and local residents. More than 600 starving Palestinians have been killed like moving targets at a fairground. Some 4,186 were...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Catherine Connolly: It is not the witnesses' fault but I note that the joint policing committees have not been replaced. It was a very good function. It was stopped prematurely because it is now a year later. Going back to the €40 million that arose in the context of the question on storage, the figure has emerged and the witnesses are going to come back on it, but what is the range of prosecutions or...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Catherine Connolly: Then there are the firearms and the drugs themselves. Does the organisation have a value on that at any given time? It is a very good indication of the level of crime and money involved.

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Catherine Connolly: On the Irish language, I will not dwell on it because the witnesses are coming back to me, but I want to be precise. It arose from an Coimisinéir Teanga's report years ago and related to a situation in Donegal with general applications. The Garda is aware of that.

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Catherine Connolly: I ask the witnesses to come back on that. I move to the new National Office for Community Safety. The new Act has just been implemented in the last few months and that is part of the problem, but that new national office is in the Department of justice. Has the Garda liaised with it?

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Catherine Connolly: It is ongoing. When I look at that I look at the word "community". When most of us look at police, besides the serious crime and so on, we think of community policing and we are actually begging to have more community gardaí on the road. Will that be a priority? Like with domestic violence, we can never identify how much of the budget is going to community policing. Will there be a...
