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: I will go back to the question I asked about the allocation of resources. I remember meeting an assistant commissioner 25 years ago and being told that divisions would not give up resources and they have what they hold, which means there is a real difficulty for areas that are growing in population. I have looked at policing plan after policing plan and it is like cut and paste or copy and...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (21 Mar 2024) Catherine Murphy: You cannot ignore population either.

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (21 Mar 2024) Catherine Murphy: I will put it in context. If the Commissioner were to look at policing levels, for example, in County Meath, where the Minister for Justice is located, and the resources there and the average resources nationally, tongue in cheek, if the resources in Meath were to be deployed elsewhere, he could cut the police force in half. That is the level of cover. Population does not seem to matter....

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (21 Mar 2024) Catherine Murphy: The group of people who came out of Templemore just before Christmas was just after the Dublin riots. That was understandable because a capital city cannot be policed on overtime. I imagine a high amount of overtime is being used over and above the €10 million that was allocated to Dublin. I am hearing that people from outside the Dublin region are being asked whether they want...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (21 Mar 2024) Catherine Murphy: The Commissioner mentioned something about monitoring the number of calls coming 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...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (21 Mar 2024) Catherine Murphy: The algorithms on my Twitter account are all over the place because I have been keeping an eye on a few things. For example, there were two arson attacks on the same building in my area. There is the same profile. It may not be the same people who are burning buildings and they may not use the same means to set them on fire but there is a commonality in respect of the transfer of...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (21 Mar 2024) Catherine Murphy: What additional resources are provided to the local division in terms of the intelligence gathered 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...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (7 Mar 2024)
Catherine Murphy: There was row back on the second one because of the way it was agreed. It was not as enforceable. A degree of trust was taken that when offers were made those offers would materialise, but some of them did not.
