I will come in. There are many things happening. The revision of the adult caution scheme has led to a significant reduction in the number of prosecutions for simple possession. In addition, we are, as a Government, committed to tackling serious and organised crime in all its forms. We can see from the Commissioner that they want to dismantle the operations of criminal organisations. I commend the Garda and customs on disrupting the activities of these criminal groups. They are implementing strong measures to destroy and dismantle all of these organised crime networks, and that is very welcome.
