I thank the Minister for her reply and I acknowledge that the long-term solution is at hand. Is she worried about the short-term solution, based on what Judge Ryan said? I acknowledge that detention is the last resort, but some of these offenders are repeat offenders and detention is the only resort. It is slightly worrying that in spite of the acknowledgment of this in May, we are now in July and the matter has not been resolved. I acknowledge the Minister's undertaking to go back to the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. Is it only a staffing issue, or are there other issues that need to be resolved?
