Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Matters: Garda Commissioner (11 Nov 2015)

Noel Grealish: -----but he was let out on bail, despite the protests of An Garda Síochána. If a person arrested for a serious crime is brought before the courts in the Netherlands, that case is dealt with within a number of days and he or she is convicted.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Matters: Garda Commissioner (11 Nov 2015)

Noel Grealish: I have a second question for the Commissioner. I am aware that in the streets of Dublin one can hire a gun for €200 or an Uzi machine gun with a magazine of bullets for €500 from, I have been told, the dissident republicans.

Order of Business (3 Nov 2015)

Noel Grealish: In Galway city and county, 60% of burglaries are carried out mostly by repeat offenders, particularly people who are heroin abusers. I am sure that is the same in our major cities. It is very frustrating for the gardaí who apprehend these people to see them back on the streets again in hours.

Order of Business (3 Nov 2015)
