Garda Síochána Bill 2004 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed). (21 Apr 2005)

Eamon Gilmore: There is a problem of gardaí getting to the scene of an incident on time. When I ask people what happens when they report something to the Garda Síochána, they often say the gardaí came and took detailed notes but left the impression that nothing could be done. They say there is no point in going after the people because the evidence is too hard to get and even if they get the evidence...

Garda Síochána Bill 2004 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed). (21 Apr 2005)

Eamon Gilmore: We had an entire phalanx of gardaí with water cannon on the Navan Road to police a few hundred youngsters on a protest. It leaves one wondering where the Garda presence is, when young people on a night out are subjected to physical assault and verbal abuse on the streets of our cities. This brings the whole idea of public service policing into disrepute. People become so frustrated that such...

Social and Affordable Housing: Motion. (19 Apr 2005)

He congratulated himself on that fact even though the rate is three times that of inflation. It is a measure of how dislocated the Government is from the real problems of people...

Eamon Gilmore: ——an increase of 7.5% in the price of a house amounts to approximately €25,000 in the space of a year.
