Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 July 2004
303 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if the communications and other technology available to the Garda Síochána are adequately updated and upgraded to meet the challenges presented by modern criminals; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21165/04]
View answerI am satisfied that the Garda authorities continuously monitor and analyse the needs of the Garda organisation in the context of the changing patterns in the nature of crime.
As part of this process, the Garda requirements in relation to communications and other technologies are subject to continuous assessment. As and when new requirements are identified, the Government and I have not been and will not be found wanting in responding to these needs.
