My next question is on paragraph 6 which dealt with the organised criminality issue and gangland activities. Many people have said to me, particularly in recent weeks, that because of all of the shenanigans going on in the justice system between senior gardaí, management and whistleblowers, people have taken their eye off the ball regarding organised crime in this city. Is that true? Will there be a big focus on organised crime?

The bodies of two people from my constituency were found shot and dumped in a ditch. There are people who are being intimidated every day by drugs gangs and some of them have said to me that the guards need to focus on these issues. Can the acting Garda Commissioner give me a commitment today that there is a focus on that type of crime all of the time, regardless of what is going on in here?
