knife attacks like you do in the UK.

So they were well able in the UK and you lived there for a long time, you seem to suggest.

They were well able to point to trends and say, listen, we've got a growing culture of knife crime.

We actually, we don't gather the data here to be able to say the same.

There's been...

An effort to increase visible policing over the last couple of years, particularly since the Dublin riots.

I know you say you don't go in as much, but when you're in there, have you noticed more regarding the street?

Yeah, we don't have enough Gardaí.

Even the Gardaí will say that.

I mean, even the greatest defenders of the Gardaí, even the government will say we don't have enough.

It's why they've got recruitment targets.

Dennis, stay on the line, because other people have gotten in touch as well, and I want to bring them into the conversation.

Stephen Geraghty is on the line as well.

Stephen, you're welcome to the show.

Welcome back to the show, because you and I spoke...

back in February about your son Mason.

Can I ask you first just to remind listeners a little bit about what happened?

And I know when we spoke as well, you were hoping to meet the Minister for Justice to talk about this, Stephen.

Has that happened?

What specifically did you want changed?
