I suppose this is more of a comment that is probably going to go nowhere. I find it bizarre that, in 2023, gardaí did not have a way of knowing that this guy was in Cork and then he went to Kerry to protest in two different places on the same day. It is bizarre that they do not have a way of communicating that to each other. That means any bowsie could be doing anything, like robbing something in Cork and then robbing something in Kerry, and not getting caught because gardaí do not have a way of telling each other what is going on in regard to people who are breaking the law. I find it bizarre. If they do not have it now and they get it in the future, is the Minister saying that this legislation will then enforce the use of such future equipment, warning system, communications system or whatever it is called? It is weird that they do not have that possibility now.
