Seanad debates

Thursday, 3 April 2003

I wish to echo a comment by Senator Minihan. We are a small society which requires a radical examination of the nature of policing. I have already discussed with the Garda Commissioner the Senator's idea for a reserve police force. Whereas my thinking and that of the Commissioner are inchoate at this stage, we have to arrive at a position in which traffic duties, the supervision of museums, protection for diplomats and similar tasks are not all carried out by fully qualified policemen.
