I join my colleagues in welcoming Commissioner Nóirín O'Sullivan and all of her team and I congratulate her on her promotion. She has a very difficult task ahead of her but I know it is a great honour to be made Garda Commissioner and I want to wish her well in the future. The witness mentioned organised crime and the response of the Garda to it. This is an issue, particularly in urban areas, where whole estates, whole streets and families are intimidated. They are even afraid to go to the Garda. At what level does the Commissioner think organised crime is currently and what is the Garda response to it?
