Mr. Gallagher spoke about 24 to 25 recidivist offenders. I think he said they are perpetrating most of the street crimes, violent crimes, robberies and that kind of thing around Dublin city centre. He might elaborate on that a little bit. Are they on bail for other crimes at the time? It seems an obvious solution to that would be to round up the usual suspects. Forgive me for advocating using older approaches but dare I say it might not be a bad idea. Is it as simple as that?
