Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Catherine Connolly: In my last two minutes, I am going to come back to the Commissioner. I want to discuss domestic violence. The figures yesterday were shocking. I sat on a joint policing committee. I know the progress that has been made with the protective units. I pay tribute to the protective units. However, a figure stood out yesterday. More than 40% of victims are dissatisfied with their initial...

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.

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.

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".
