It is not the witnesses' fault but I note that the joint policing committees have not been replaced.

It was a very good function. It was stopped prematurely because it is now a year later. Going back to the €40 million that arose in the context of the question on storage, the figure has emerged and the witnesses are going to come back on it, but what is the range of prosecutions or the range of crime involved in that €40 million? Could they give us an idea? That is huge. Then there is the firearms and then the drugs. I ask the witnesses to reply as quickly as they can and maybe supplement it with a note to us.
