Noel Harrington: I welcome any scheme that gives assistance. I have been speaking to some of the people who have lost gear, including last night when the scheme was announced.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Security and Protocol Issues: Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (12 Feb 2014)
