Cormac Devlin: As the House will not be sitting tomorrow, I would like the Dáil to recall the late Detective Garda Colm Horkan, who died while on duty in Roscommon on 18 June 2020. Irish citizens living abroad who received the Sinopharm vaccine, among others, and who are now considered fully vaccinated by the World Health Organization, are facing discrimination by EU and Irish authorities by being...

Chapter 5: Vote Accounting and Budget Management (16 Nov 2023)

Cormac Devlin: I mention this because I dealt with the Department when it came before the Committee of Public Accounts previously in respect of the relocation of Garda headquarters, if Mr. Moloney recalls, from Harcourt Street to its new premises. There was a lot of toing and froing, let me put it that way, in terms of trying to have the proper fit-out for the new headquarters, the contracts, etc. Where...

Cormac Devlin: I welcome Mr. Bourke's comments about 12 being in use for serving or retired members of An Garda Síochána. Maybe that could be considered for those remaining in OPW control. I turn to office accommodation. The OPW has a substantial portfolio of accommodation, with total leasing commitments for 2019 of €113 million. What is the total area of the office accommodation...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (Resumed) (7 Oct 2021)

Cormac Devlin: ...all sets of accounts. The Comptroller and Auditor General mentioned that some non-compliant procurement was in excess of €500,000.

Public Accounts Committee: NAMA Financial Statements 2022 and Special Report 116 of the Comptroller and Auditor General (28 Sep 2023)

Cormac Devlin: ...resigned in May 2020. Did nobody think, for Mr. McDonagh's sake, that of his staff and the agents NAMA is employing, to put in place a procedure around engaging with the proper authority, An Garda Síochána, to report these incidents? It seems to me that if it was anybody else, like a local authority or any other agency, if threats came in, they have to be dealt with through the...

Starting with customs, Mr. Cody stated that there had been significant seizures of drugs and cigarettes in 2020 and 2021 and that Revenue was continuing its co-operation with the Garda and international organisations. Does he have a breakdown of the number of seizures of drugs and cigarettes across 2019 to 2021, be that at ports or elsewhere? I will ask a further question on this.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022 - Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (8 Feb 2024)

Cormac Devlin: Mr. Hume made reference earlier to the fact that some complainants can be frivolous or vexatious. Of those cases, I think the figure Mr. Whelan gave was 3,000 complaints against An Garda Síochána in 2022 and of these, 2,000 had been closed off in a relatively short period of time, leaving the 1,826 cases. Is it the case that some individuals who, as we would term it, are known to...

Unfortunately, figures for 2020 show that the Garda received more than 43,000 calls to respond to domestic abuse incidents, representing a 16% increase on the figure for 2019.

Dublin City Safety Initiatives and Other Services: Statements (Resumed) (17 Nov 2022)

Cormac Devlin: ...of antisocial behaviour on public transport was 36%. That is a shocking figure for the level of public transport crime and intimidation. Some 78% of respondents indicated they favoured a dedicated Garda public transport unit and I support this too. A number of other Deputies indicated the same earlier, which is welcome. It seems there is going to unanimous support for this measure...

Cormac Devlin: ...which I understand are hired by the operators, if I am not mistaken. As the transport authority for the country, what is the NTA's view on proper security? I am not a fan of security. I prefer a Garda presence but that is beyond all of our powers here. I would like to hear the thoughts of the witnesses on the matter as representatives of the NTA.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 May 2021)

Cormac Devlin: ...in a local park when an Asian family was surrounded by a group of youths and subjected to racial abuse. None of these crimes should be happening.
