I thank the deputy commissioner, Dr. Coxon. I think I met her in Tullamore previously.

In her opening statement she said "At the moment, there is nothing to suggest there is an overarching conspiracy involved in these attacks". That is probably right and fair enough. All these incidents have happened in different locations. However, there is a common theme, in that they are inspired by such events as community action that is driven by right-wing activists coming into an area and identifying a property as being used by IPAS. What policing responsibility can be used to identify those activists? They are not carrying out the arson attacks but they are inciting hatred, or whatever legislation could be used. They are a common theme across the board. Is that being looked at as part of the investigations and procedures that are taking place? If not, why not? I will allow the witnesses to answer before I continue.
