As a matter of urgency, I ask the Minister to review the rural policing policy, which has shown to be a failure, specifically the nine to five rural Garda stations. If the Oireachtas undermines the confidence of the public in the Garda, we do a massive disservice to everybody and damage the possibility of solving crime. It is of the utmost importance that we wholeheartedly support the idea that the Garda are the people – as opposed to any voluntary group – who are charged with this task. For a number of years a community alert scheme has been in place. It was a good initiative for which the community support was impressive but, after its initial launch and establishment, the follow-through, back up and on-going service has not been forthcoming. I ask the Minister to make every effort to relaunch the community alert initiative. With that initiative we could solve many of the problems that occur in rural as well as urban areas.
