Mr. John Twomey:
That is certainly something we can take away. Our people are always conscious of what the people they encounter face. There is an important demarcation between the role of An Garda Síochána and policing and that of the health services. It is a balance that we must be very conscious of and careful about. We can consider it further but there are professionals in this area and it is very specific. We must be careful of extending the role of An Garda Síochána into this area.
