Paul McAuliffe: It is largely to do with decisions made by An Garda Síochána. Is that correct?

Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (7 Apr 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: ...with that involve those under 18 years of age. I am anxious because any type of attack or assault on a child is utterly unacceptable in society, and for it to be perpetrated by a member of An Garda Síochána is particularly unacceptable. First, is there a specific policy or piece of work GSOC has done which includes assaults by members of the Garda on children? Second, are...

Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (7 Apr 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: In those cases, probably all cases, are members of An Garda Síochána involved in the questioning of people who are reporting a crime or is it only the staff of GSOC who are involved in that questioning?

Paul McAuliffe: ...at them next due to these actions by the rival gangs. Will the Taoiseach join me in condemning this illegal drug industry and what it is doing to my community? Can he raise these matters with the Garda Commissioner? There is a good history of success of Dublin City Council and An Garda Síochána working together to tackle some of these issues. More resources would benefit that.

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (31 Mar 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: .... I could probably spend the entire ten minutes speaking on that issue. I will route the request to that committee, but perhaps there will be an opportunity for that committee to engage with the Garda Commissioner on that issue separately. However, I will come to the issue of the cancelled 999 calls and the number of crimes that failed to be reported or, my apologies, failed to be...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (31 Mar 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: It has been a major game changer for Members of the Oireachtas and members of the force, because the idea that in 2018 the best way of me contacting my local community garda was to telephone the station and my name would be entered in a book that would be observed by a member when he or she attended work, depending on what the member's shift was, was archaic. The project was much needed. I...

Paul McAuliffe: ...if I am misquoting him - for personnel and staffing costs. The more ways we can get personnel to work better, the more value for money we can get from that 80%. Technology is something the Garda has been significantly lacking over time. It is a criticism but it is a necessary criticism to ensure that we continue to invest in technology for the Garda. I have heard stories of people...

Paul McAuliffe: .... The assistant commissioner for Dublin has met me to discuss it. I ask the Commissioner to revisit the report in order to examine it and perhaps respond to me. I want to correct the exact Garda numbers, because I would not like to mislead anyone in the context of the Official Report. There are 2.3 gardaí per 1,000 population in my area. The figure is 2.8 in Ballymun. If we...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (31 Mar 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: ...renewal of barring orders, when the new safe location often has to be disclosed. Some of the people involved felt that put them in an even more vulnerable position. The other issue is around the garda dealing with the overall case being the one to pursue the breach of the barring order. Have the representatives experience of that? Again, that does not seem to make sense. It might seem...

Paul McAuliffe: ...policing committee, including the elected and community representatives. We can solve the problems in Ballymun, Finglas and in many other communities, but we must do that with the resources of An Garda Síochána and the different State agencies. That includes Tusla, because if we make an impact during the first years of someone's life, then we can change an entire community.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (25 Nov 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: 120. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the number of community gardaí in the Ballymun Garda district as of 1 November 2021 or the latest date available; the number in the 12 months previously; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [57943/21]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (25 Nov 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: ...a report, titled Ballymun - A Brighter Future, which outlined the impact of the drugs industry on that community. Core to that report were actions which we believe many agencies, including An Garda Síochána, need to take. The resources An Garda Síochána has are crucial to the successful implementation of that report. Will the Minister of State outline the number of...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (25 Nov 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I welcome the Minister of State's commitment to this issue along with that of his ministerial colleague. Deployment is a matter for the Garda Commissioner but, on his appointment, he said that crime is not like rain in that it does not fall evenly everywhere. It was therefore very surprising when we discovered, through the report, Ballymun - A Brighter Future, that the Dublin northern...

Paul McAuliffe: ...similar to replies provided for the best part of a decade, suggesting that there was no obligation to have new laws, that there were issues with the definition of a public place and the belief that the Garda already had sufficient powers. It is said that success can have many mothers and fathers. It is important to acknowledge the people who helped us to get this across the line. It...
