Mr. Richard Kennedy:

We lobby on an ongoing basis at local and national level. Much of this crime, and in particular violent crime in the community, does not just affect the people attacked. It affects all the people who fear crime and makes them uncomfortable in their own homes. We highlight that to our politicians regularly at Government level. It is encouraging to see an increase in numbers but it still needs to go up. Resources need to be given to An Garda Síochána. We understand that and we have spoken with An Garda Síochána on numerous occasions. To be fair, we have a good relationship with An Garda Síochána. We are trying to get it to work with what resources it has to the maximum of its ability and we also work on this issue with the Government. We do work on it and will continue to do so.
