Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Garda Síochána Strength.
The approved strength of the Garda Síochána for the years 1930, 1940, 1950, 1960 and at 30th April, 1971 was 7,212, 7,518, 7,491, 7,542 and 6,762 respectively. The number of indictable crimes committe...
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Waterford Garda Station.
I have no proposal from the commissioner for the closing of Tallow Garda station.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Dublin City Garda Station.
The new Garda station at Ballyfermot is almost complete and will be ready for occupation next week. The formal opening will take place shortly afterwards.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Garda Overtime.
Apart from exceptional circumstances, it is the superintendent of the district concerned who has the responsibility of authorising overtime. Overtime is authorised where it is necessary for the perfor...
I think they will, particularly as they include the appointment of a chief superintendent to look into the question of overtime generally.
It is the local district officer who has to check these claims and it is only in exceptional circumstances that there is any undue delay.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Offaly Firearms Dealer.
The registration of a firearms dealer is on an annual basis and the registration of the firm concerned, which had been engaged in the manufacture of shotguns and in respect of which a receiver has bee...
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Donegal Robbery.
If the Deputy has a specific question to ask about a particular crime, I will see if I can answer it without breach of confidence or without hampering the efforts of the Garda Síochána to investigate ...
I am aware of this incident but I cannot make a general statement about any or every crime committed in the country.
The gardaí have a very good idea, as the Deputy is probably aware, that these people crossed the Border.
That is not correct.
It is not correct.
Two patrol cars did not break down. One patrol car broke down. Any car, whether a Garda car or not, is liable to break down occasionally.
It did not break down.
My information is that they did not abandon it.
On a point of order, if I were to go into every single one of the 30,000 indictable crimes committed in the country I think the House would have no time for any other business.
I am not in favour of promoting a tenant-purchase scheme——
The Chair called Question No. 76 several times.
I do refuse to make a statement. I am perfectly within my rights.
Two patrol cars did not break down. One patrol car broke down.
It is not the Minister's fault if a discussion is taking place.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Garda Housing.
I am not in favour of promoting a tenant purchase scheme for official houses occupied by members of the Garda Síochána. It would defeat the purpose for which official Garda houses are provided, that ...
The liability for transfer in respect of other occupations would be a great deal less than it is in the Garda Síochána. That probably explains the difference.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Court Jurisdiction.
The preliminary text of a comprehensive Courts Bill to deal, inter alia, with the civil jurisdictions of the district and circuit courts is at present under examination in my Department. While work o...
I am aware of that. That part of the Bill does not pose any difficulties but the Bill is a fairly long one and, unfortunately, some other parts of it are causing drafting difficulties. I regret that t...
It would be somewhat difficult to do that because many of the other changes are consequential on this proposal. I did think of that but it would be more satisfactory to try to do them all together.
