- Seanad: Garda Síochána Bill 2004: Second Stage. (2 Mar 2004)
Marc MacSharry: I join with others in welcoming the Minister and thank him for attending today's marathon session. It is much appreciated when one considers his busy schedule. The Garda SÃochána Bill is a long-awaited and timely piece of legislation, which allows, for the first time, full investigations into alleged Garda misbehaviour to be carried out by people other than members of the Garda SÃochána....
- Other Questions: Garda Station Closures (19 Oct 2017)
Marc MacSharry: The acting Garda Commissioner recently told the Committee of Public Accounts that the decision on Stepaside Garda station had already been made, that the OPW was pressing ahead and at an advanced stage with the project. The Minister might want to tell his colleague, the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Shane Ross, to send a tweet that perhaps it might never happen, certainly...
- Other Questions: Garda Station Closures (19 Oct 2017)
Marc MacSharry: When will Stepaside Garda station be reopened? It follows a decision that caused much public controversy. Let us contrast this decision with the tangible lack of action in the advancement of work on a new regional Garda headquarters in Sligo where there is no running water and no shower facilities in the Garda station. The cells have been condemned to the extent that members of the Garda...
- Written Answers — Department of Justice and Equality: Garda Station Refurbishment (28 Nov 2017)
Marc MacSharry: 284. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the reason no remedial works have been carried out at Sligo Garda station as committed to by Garda management in October 2016; the timeframe for remedial works to commence and be completed; if these works will be immediately commenced; the process and status of the site acquisition and construction of a new regional Garda...

Chapter 6: Lease of Offices at Miesian Plaza (11 Oct 2018) Marc MacSharry: Of course the Garda told us here that it was not a priority for it. We have had that debate with the Garda here before. I presume the OPW just gets the order in from the Garda saying that it wants this done.

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Marc MacSharry: Let us say this health insurance company pays for the treatment of a garda who was injured in the line of duty. If that results in a case where a third party has to pay compensation, does the member pay the Garda Síochána and then it pays St. Paul's Garda Medical Aid Society?
- Public Accounts Committee: Report on Reopening of Garda Stations: Acting Garda Commissioner (28 Sep 2017)
Marc MacSharry: I ask the acting Garda Commissioner, from an operational - cops and robbers - perspective, what would be more of a priority? Would it be operating the cells at a regional centre like Sligo Garda station or re-opening the station at Stepaside, in terms of timing and priority, if the acting Garda Commissioner had a magic wand?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (4 May 2017) Marc MacSharry: I am nearly finished now. With regard to the members of An Garda Síochána who have gone off of their own accord to study law or other things, is there a practice within the force to tap into that resource? If a garda had been assigned to Pearse Street Garda Station, had studied law and was called to the Bar, is he or she being kept on the beat or is it recognised that the garda...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (11 Nov 2020) Marc MacSharry: On another issue, and while I appreciate Mr. Buckley is bound by the directions of the Department that is looking for various properties, we bought a site at Caltragh in Sligo for a new Garda station which was to be part of a bundle of three Garda stations with Clonmel and Macroom in Cork. Is it the Garda Commissioner who directs that we do not need anymore? Is it the Secretary General of...

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (20 Jun 2017) Marc MacSharry: The email was from the director of finance, Mr. Michael Culhane in An Garda Síochána to Mr. Banks in the Garda division asking if there had been any developments on the matters raised - and I paraphrase - because Mr. Culhane had come to realise, due to other documentation provided, that there were issues around financial and taxation matters in the Garda College in Templemore. We...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Sep 2020)
Marc MacSharry: ...another issue with the OPW; while we would be inviting the office to attend in any event, and not being parochial, it concerns a large amount of money. It bought a site for €1.35 million for a new Garda station in Sligo and it was announced by the Government that there would be no Garda station built now. I want to know what that site is going to be used for and the reasons for...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (23 Nov 2017)
Marc MacSharry: I am, with respect, in the middle of the question. I have to put on record here that the demeanour of the acting Garda Commissioner is such that he does not want Mr. Barrett to say anything at all. We are asking a question and yet every few seconds the acting Garda Commissioner interrupts to say that we are straying. I ask the Chairman to instruct the acting Garda Commissioner to be quiet...
- Seanad: Confidence in Minister for Justice and Equality and Defence: Motion (27 Feb 2013)
Marc MacSharry: It is an important point to make. The reality is that we are not getting increased numbers of gardaà on the ground. We have fewer members of the force on the ground. From the people whom I know in the Garda SÃochána, morale is at an all-time low. We have heard the story of the detective unit in Cavan, in which the six detectives have no car between them. In Sligo, there is one car to...
- Written Answers — Department of Justice and Equality: Garda Station Refurbishment (17 May 2016)

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (4 May 2017) Marc MacSharry: -----is that somewhere between 2006 and the Commissioner writing to whomever to have this pass the Garda internal audit service and the Comptroller and Auditor General, somebody somewhere yet to be named, or nameable even, took the view to sit on this because it made the Garda look bad?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (20 Jun 2017) Marc MacSharry: Okay. Would there be an ongoing interaction between the Garda College or the financial director in the Garda and the Department?
- Public Accounts Committee: Report on Reopening of Garda Stations: Acting Garda Commissioner (28 Sep 2017)
Marc MacSharry: How then did Stepaside happen to be the one and only station that An Garda Síochána decided to reopen? At this particular juncture, as the acting Garda Commissioner said, there was other work to be completed.
