Ms Noirín O'Sullivan:

Certainly it was an horrendous act and it was a terrible and awful act for the families of the two missing people. I know they were from the Deputy's constituency. I have extended my condolences to those families. We worked tirelessly to discover and recover the bodies and, unfortunately, bodies were recovered. Our members worked tirelessly to do that work and it demonstrated our commitment in one sense.

The Deputy looked for a commitment. I am on public record over recent weeks as saying that our determination to tackle drugs, organised crime, terrorism and all their manifestations has not been diminished in any way. Our members are tirelessly devoted to doing such work. Since April of this year alone, over the past five weeks, we have seized drugs worth in excess of €29 million, which is evidence of our determination to continue such work.
