The Justice Minister is set to give Garda bosses an extra €10 million to tackle crime in Dublin.
Minister Helen McEntee is set to make the announcement later today at a passing out parade for 87 new officers at the Garda college in Templemore, Co Tipperary.
It also comes at a time when she and the government are under pressure over street crime and violence in the city centre.
It’s understood the €10m will be spent on overtime and it will be made immediately available. It will provide for 240,000 extra Garda hours, or 20,000 extra Garda shifts, in the Dublin Metropolitan Region.
