As I said, the gardaí are working as best they can with the resources we have, bearing in mind that this kicked off last July with the first of the shooting instances and it was only three weeks ago that we got an additional 25 new gardaí. I will not repeat everything I said but we are asking the questions now because the situation is at crisis point and because of the brazen nature of these criminals who think they can go from A to B without being stopped, deterred or monitored. That is the sense of urgency that exists. Will the Commissioner consider it and correspond with me in writing? Will he give it the consideration it deserves?
