Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2022
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (21 Mar 2024)

Catherine Murphy: I acknowledge that much of that is very positive but it is also about the number of personnel. I will resubmit a parliamentary question to get up-to-date numbers. Has the Garda Commissioner brought the tax issue to the Tax Appeals Commission or did it go directly to Revenue?

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (21 Mar 2024)

Catherine Murphy: ...yet there is no matching correlation with the deployment of additional resources with that. Is that because an inadequate number of people are coming out of Templemore? Is that the only place the Garda gets the resources from? If that is the case, how does it ever catch up in areas like that?

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (21 Mar 2024)

Catherine Murphy: ...that the issue of resources in Dublin is still an ongoing issue. However, if the new recruits go there, which is understandable because there was a particular problem, and I believe there still is, the Garda will never catch up in other areas. It is just very difficult to see how the Garda ever properly looks at resourcing areas that are growing in population.

Catherine Murphy: ...in and where they are coming from. There are places where people do not bother calling. They do not bother calling because they do not expect to get a service. That is not to be critical of the gardaí who are there. They can only do what they can do. I have a lot of engagement with the gardaí in my local area and I am very complimentary about them. There is just not enough...

Catherine Murphy: ...from social media in an area where there is a protest, such as at Crooksling, for example, where a building was set on fire? I think it was intended to be IPAS accommodation. Would the local Garda station be relied upon to have the resource itself or to use social media to track what is happening and what people are saying?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022 - Tusla-Child and Family Agency (29 Feb 2024)

Catherine Murphy: Okay. We are certainly not going to talk about a particular agency or organisation with which there is Garda involvement. How many other organisations have been excluded as a consequence of this unit being set up and investigating that?

Recent Arson Attacks: Statements (27 Feb 2024)

Catherine Murphy: ...there is a protest in Naas. It is very difficult to make people believe that temporary protection is the intended use because it is difficult to deal with misinformation. “Prime Time” asked the Garda about those protests and the response was that "the majority of public gatherings and persons attending them are peaceful and their intent is peaceful”. The Garda went...

Catherine Murphy: .... It now costs €84,000 a year to keep a prisoner in prison. I am comparing that with what is happening with the children's disability network teams. I have met the most extreme cases where the Garda has had to be called multiple times and where parents are so anxious to make sure their child does not end up in prison. These are the most dedicated of parents. They are being told...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Feb 2024)

Catherine Murphy: Some of it was a carryover from how they were amalgamated and how the systems were not really talking to each other. An Garda Síochána is involved in two specific cases. Once the gardaí are involved are we precluded from looking at them in their totality or just from looking at those areas?
