Crime Levels: Statements.
Will the Minister explain how having gardaí work in 230 decrepit, often rat infested Garda buildings is conducive to good morale? How does he expect gardaí cramped in small offices to do a meaningful job? If we want to tackle crime, we must make resources and facilities available to the Garda Síochána which are compatible with the role of those who serve in it. We, too, expect to have offices which reflect our position. Failure to do so will result in further frustration and lead more of them to retire almost lemming-like from the age of 50 years onwards, which would exacerbate our problems.
