If the Senator looked a little more closely at the Book of Estimates he would see that income for local government is up 5% not 1%.

One will not find the cost of 2,000 fully employed gardaí in the Book of Estimates. Some of them are coming into training. I have no doubt about the Government's determination to raise the number of gardaí to 14,000.
