Mr. Kaz Balinski:

In my opening statement I said the working solution was to provide a forum through which the coalition can support the Government and work towards a thinking solution on which the Government can then act. This is where we should be. To put in place this reform we need to put together a big think tank which is Government- and Garda-agreed. This would provide properly trained firearms officers. Mr. Crofton would agree that competence should be put in place and checks and balances should be enforced.
