Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (20 Jun 2019)

Dessie Ellis: I have repeatedly raised the issue of the misuse of quad bikes and motorbikes on our streets and in parks. A committee was set up by the Minister to look at the issue. It seems that this committee is of the opinion that the Garda has enough powers to deal with this matter. That flies of what I have heard at every joint policing committee and safety forum meeting I have attended. At such...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Drug and Alcohol Task Forces (25 Jun 2019)

Dessie Ellis: I welcome the money the task forces will receive, as the Minister of State outlined. It is evident that the task forces have lost a significant number of personnel.
