Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan has said he does not have a date for when 1,000 extra gardaí will be deployed to Dublin city centre.
However, he said there is "high-visibility" policing there which has provided "confidence" and "safety" in the city.
The Dublin City Taskforce recommended that 1,000 extra gardaí be deployed to ensure greater security in the city centre in 2024.
The taskforce was established last May to come up with a plan revitalise the capital in the wake of the November 2023 riots and the Covid-19 pandemic.
Mr O'Callaghan said the Government was committed to implementing what was set out in the taskforce's report.
He said these gardaí need to be recruited and other areas around the country also need to be serviced.
Mr O'Callaghan was responding to Green Party leader Roderic O'Gorman, who said the deployment of an additional 1,000 gardaí to Dublin City centre was seen as a minimum requirement and central to a "sense of safety".
"That number wasn't pulled out of thin air. 1,000 extra gardaí was seen as the minimum number required to meet European average policy standards for a city of this size," he said.
Mr O'Gorman said the net increase in gardaí in Dublin city centre districts is 40 in the year and a half since the report was published.
He said the current trajectory shows the deadline would only be reached around 2063.
"I want to see an extra 1,000 gardaí in Dublin. You were in Government as well, you know that things don't happen with the click of a finger or overnight," Minister O'Callaghan told Deputy O'Gorman.
