Government Policy and the Provision of Services for the Elderly: Statements.
The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform has changed the system of policing in rural areas in that there is no longer an identifiable presence of gardaĆ on the beat in the community. They are patrolling areas in cars and are not in the local Garda stations, something to which the elderly had become accustomed. That scheme needs the Minister of State's financing and support.
