Michael Healy-Rae
Question:154 Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Justice and Equality his views that senior members of the Garda Representative Association have stated that the cuts could leave Ireland vulnerable to a massacre on the scale of Norway’s Utoya atrocity and that officers need armed capability even if it is never used; if he will confirm that he is proposing to reduce the number of firearms available and thus cutting costs by €2.7 million a year; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
