Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety, Online Disinformation and Media Literacy: Discussion (6 Dec 2023)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (16 Feb 2023)

Christopher O'Sullivan: ...in west Cork and at a national level, to recruit and retain. The issue has been well covered and we must acknowledge it is the case. If I think back 20 years to when I was 19 or 20, becoming a garda was still an attractive profession and line of work to go into. That does not seem to be the case now.

Christopher O'Sullivan: ...had to bring this up. In many ways, this is the right place. Have we gone far enough in terms of the scope of the online safety media regulation Bill?

Christopher O'Sullivan: ...bit more clout. An issue about which I have spoken to the Minister, on a personal basis and in the Dáil, is the need for a specific wildlife crime investigation unit as a dedicated section in An Garda Síochána.
