Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Drew Harris:
No, I believe in the drug units in terms of the intelligence and the successes they have on the local level. I have to couple that with the Criminal Assets Bureau, CAB, and the local assessments that are done in respect of individuals' proceeds of crime and then using CAB not just for the Mr. Bigs, but also pursuing those whose income from drug dealing on a local level is all around acquired wealth such as watches, cars or in some cases, handbags etc. We take away those trappings of wealth from individuals. We are entirely committed to that.
