- Public Accounts Committee: Reopening of Garda Stations: Discussion (23 Nov 2017)
David Cullinane: Mr. Leahy said a few minutes ago, in response to Teachta Alan Kelly, that he was aware of the demands and needs in policing operations in the Dublin area. I imagine he would be more aware than anyone. Is that accurate?

- Public Accounts Committee: Reopening of Garda Stations: Discussion (23 Nov 2017)
David Cullinane: Mr. Leahy may well be directed to do so. We now know that there is to be a decision. Will it be a decision to be made by the Cabinet? I imagine at some point Mr. Leahy will be directed in that way.

David Cullinane: Mr. Leahy has told this committee that there are other "pressing priorities", to use his words. I would imagine that is something that Mr. Ó Cualáin would want to take seriously.
