Mr. Drew Harris:

Yes. The policing operation is getting a huge amount of attention. My deputy, Mr. Twomey, has spent a lot of time making sure that our national response fully supports the local response to this policing issue. We have broken down this type of crime gang previously, and in terms of this response to enforcement and the pressure we put on, we have to be persistent. This situation is protracted. It is difficult to see what the quick fix will be but we are in this for the long haul. I am very happy to correspond with the Deputy to give her an assurance about our ongoing commitment to dealing with this issue. We have spent a lot of time and resources on it but also a lot of thought as to how we can unpick this and also reassure the local community. We have given an additional 15 gardaí to the area. That is on top of the additional national resources being deployed in the area to offer reassurance. Together with the investigative effort, there is a visible and a covert element of which people will not be aware.
