On the community safety partnerships, this is very welcome. We saw the benefits of having the Drogheda implementation board in County Louth. Does the Minister think sufficient funding is being made available? It is the very moment in which we can bring all the different stakeholders together and have a very positive impact. As any of my colleagues here have said, at ground level we have coercion and intimidation. We need all the eyes and ears of every community group, retailer and force within an area working together. The community safety partnership is the driver for that.
