I can see the HSE and others have raised some concerns about enforcement. It terms of the Department's conversations with An Garda Síochána, there were media reports that the Garda Commissioner might have concerns about the ability to enforce this legislation. I am not sure if that is correct and I do not want to do him any disservice. Mr. O'Connor stated the Department had a constructive engagement with the Garda, which is good. Are there concerns or what type of concerns were expressed by An Garda Síochána?
