Ivor Callely
Ceist:224 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Justice if her attention has been drawn to the fact that gardaí have to log calls, even emergency and road traffic accidents, before they can respond to calls for assistance, which may take some period of time due to insufficient personnel numbers; if her attention has further been drawn to the general public's dissatisfaction with such delays when they are in need of assistance; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
