Great news. It will make a differance. Sad to say they are needed but that seems to be the way our society is going. Without the uniforms on the streets, criminals run the show.Originally Posted by Munion

Bazinga!
always good to hear.
any word on how many extra garda will be on the street due to the grada reserve
It's a step in the right direction, but this idea that a few more Gardaí will solve all our problems is rubbish. It's impossible for Gadraí to be everywhere at once and the problems are a lot deeper then that. Hopefully some of these will also go into increasing the number of gardai in the organized crime and drug units which are in dire need of more men right now.

That is a fantastic commitment to Law and Order.
Well done the Minister.
Bazinga!
this is a fantastic kneejerk reaction to the publics fury at the murder of young Anthony typical of Mc fool
Remember this is the same Minister who regularly launches different proposals, but then never go any further then the press release and the launch so I wouldn't start praising him yet.
