Crime Levels: Statements.
Diversity of duty should be examined. There is no reason traffic enforcement should be undertaken by the Garda. It could be policed effectively by a dedicated force such as the community warden system that operates at local authority level. Such arrangements apply successfully in other countries. The prime focus of the Garda should be on tackling crime and reducing crime rates.
