However, the leadership figures have been around for years and, as far as anybody can see, they are not being targeted or dealt with effectively or at all. That is the problem. They were able to put out a call to arms, or whatever you want to call it, last Thursday to get people together. You can see from the list and the names of people who were before the courts on Friday that they were from all over the place. They were not only from the north inner city or anything like that. There were people from Longford, Meath, Monaghan and all over Dublin and all over the country. People responded to that call to arms. If those people had been dealt with in advance of these events, this would very likely not have happened or at least not to the extent it did. That is one of the concerns I have on this.
