Today I met with Assistant Commissioner Paula Hilman head of Roads Policing in An Garda Síochàna. Since uniformed Gardaí have been carrying out 30 minutes of roads safety policing per shift we have seen an increase in the number of breath tests undertaken & speeding fines issued.

An update following cabinet approval for legislative change to allow resumption of returns to the UK. This is one of a number of measures which I am taking to make sure we have an immigration system which is firm but fair. 🔗 -

Any attack on a member of an Garda Siochana is an attack on our democracy and our state. Gardai have my full support in their work & while peaceful protest is a right we all value, we will not tolerate vandalism and attacks on Gardai.

Minister O’Gorman’s privacy and property have been violated in a disgusting and shocking manner. I’ve spoken to the Garda commissioner. This cannot be tolerated.

Looking forward to discussing the EU Migration Pact at the Joint Oireachtas Committee next week. This will be followed by full debates in the Dáil and Seanad. The Pact will speed up the processing of asylum applications so that we have a firmer and fairer system.

Even if you're careful, using a phone while driving takes all of your attention off the road so you're putting yourself and the lives of other people in danger by being distracted. Have you done it and potentially caused a collision today? Think about it. #SaferRoads

Uniform Gardaí are to carry out at least 30 minutes of roads safety policing per shift with immediate effect, due to the increase of fatalities on our roads.   This increased presence will also help An Garda Síochána to detect other crimes which rely on our road networks.
