Many of the people to whom I refer who have been taken into custody have false paperwork and the Garda cannot obtain background information on them. If the force had a comprehensive database similar to those in other countries, it could match up DNA samples.

I would like it if the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform would take on board the three points I made in respect of community policing, co-operation with the education system and the immediate introduction of legislation relating to the provision of a comprehensive database to help in the fight against crime.
