Will the Deputy Leader arrange for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to come into the House as soon as possible to discuss the proposals for the Garda reserve force? Measures to establish such a force are contained in the Garda Síochána Act but should be debated further. This House should discuss the legislation and its implementation. Without the co-operation of the GRA and the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors, it will not come about. There is time for negotiation to ensure full co-operation from the GRA.
