Mr. Michael Cryan:

We are very strong on the numbers arrested and prosecuted. I meet law enforcement people from all over the world through Europol, INTERPOL and Eurojust. We have a number of advantages other countries may lack. The first is that we are quite small from a population point of view. Our big advantage is we have one national police force. The Deputy talked about prosecutions. It is just six prosecutions, but in one investigation alone we have arrested almost 100 people under the gangland legislation alone for this type of criminality. They will face prosecution down the road. We have, I would say, 20 to 30 before the courts at the moment in one investigation. All are charged with offences under the gangland legislation, money laundering, possession of false documents and theft offences. As the assistant commissioner said, there was a 28% drop in 2022. The enforcing and the arrests are certainly part of the reason for that reduction. There is no doubt about that.
