I would like to make a number of suggestions to the Leader. On the question of policing, I am intrigued that the London Metropolitan Police has decided, after approximately 20 years, that putting officers on the beat – as distinct from having super-duper Z cars whizzing around the place – is perhaps the best way to reduce crime in a community. Most politicians from across the spectrum believed that all along, but they were fed management-speak and so on by various consultants who persuaded them differently. The basic instinct of public representatives is that having gardaí visible and on patrol in communities is the best way to reduce that sort of crime identified by the London Metropolitan Police as a nuisance to communities. Public order offences and petty vandalism impinge most on ordinary people's lives. I request a debate on the way we operate the policing service.
