Mr. Drew Harris:

Those are our national figures for that period. Even if I take the arrest figures, I must set them in the context that in the same period there were 260,000 other arrest-type incidents. Operation Thor is an operation to counter burglary certainly but also to counter criminality on the road. In some ways, I am satisfied with those figures, albeit given the extended period, I might have expected them to be a little higher. In the context of 260,000 other arrests, it shows the level of activity undertaken by An Garda Síochána in respect of enforcement. We are an organisation that deals with approximately 1 million incidents or reports per annum. As such, a huge amount of work is done. Mr. Twomey has more of the detail on that but we are aware of the parliamentary question and we double-checked the figures.
