Chapter 8 - Management of Outsourced Safety Cameras (10 Jul 2014) Kieran O'Donnell: That amounts to 230 net new vehicles. Am I correct in saying that the Garda is really only keeping pace? Are there approximately 400 vehicles on average coming off the fleet per year?

Chapter 8 - Management of Outsourced Safety Cameras (10 Jul 2014) Kieran O'Donnell: My final question on that is for both the acting Commissioner and Mr. Culhane. What is the under-provision in terms of Garda vehicles? This is a significant issue on the ground because in areas where gardaí patrol in a vehicle once per night, people would feel much more secure if they patrolled twice per night. What is the point at which one could provide this level of comfort to...

Chapter 8 - Management of Outsourced Safety Cameras (10 Jul 2014) Kieran O'Donnell: I read with interest recently about the small areas policing programme, which is essentially about having gardaí on the beat. The scheme is operational in Dublin. However, a great deal of good work is being done by An Garda Síochána in Limerick. In large urban sprawling areas people like to see old-fashioned policing, with gardaí walking around an area, meeting people...

Chapter 8 - Management of Outsourced Safety Cameras (10 Jul 2014) Kieran O'Donnell: I thank Ms O'Sullivan for the openness she has shown on the issue of the Garth Brooks concerts. I also appreciate the human problem these concerts create for those who live in the area, and I understand their concerns. This is a legislative problem. We need to find a mechanism that allows a fresh application to be made. In addition, we need stand-alone legislation for concerts, including...

Kieran O'Donnell: I apologise. We are seeing a recovery and people have come through very difficult times since 2008. What is the most up-to-date symptom of the pressures under which people are operating that the organisations see? What two priorities would each of them like to see reflected in the budget?
