Garda Síochána (Policing Authority and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (24 Sep 2015)

Kieran O'Donnell: ...for Justice and Equality is in the House today for this debate. The fact that the Minister is establishing a new independent policing body is extremely important. It will enhance the role of An Garda Síochána, whose members do fantastic work on the ground, and it all comes back to policing services on the ground. I want to draw the Minister's attention to issues that have...

Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (17 Feb 2015)

Kieran O'Donnell: ...ramps are a crude device but they are effective. The Minister made reference to signs, which are also important. In addition, there must be enforcement. If reduced speed limits are adopted, the Garda must enforce them. Its role needs to be examined to ensure this speed limit is observed. We are seeking something positive to emerge from a tragedy. These changes should be part of an...

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...

Kieran O'Donnell: ...involved. The views of the residents around Croke Park are significant and their concerns must be taken on board. When it came to the licensing process over the past number of months, was the Garda satisfied with what was being proposed? Was there interaction with Dublin City Council regarding that there may be difficulty over a concert being held over five rather than three days?...

Kieran O'Donnell: ...area. I will move on to straightforward issues. An issue that arises often - I represent a constituency that has both urban and rural areas which is Limerick city and east Limerick - is that the Garda cars are clapped out and old. I hear that from rank and file gardaí when a situation arises where a car reaches a certain milestone, which, I think, is 300,000 km, and it is taken...

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?

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...
