It is a simple question relating to security arrangements and I do not believe the Minister will mind dealing with it. There was public commentary on the provision of security by members of An Garda Síochána for former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern. The Minister stated Bertie Ahern should provide for the cost of that security out of his pension. Given that neither of the Minister's predecessors - Dermot Ahern and John O'Donoghue - has security in place at their houses, will he indicate if he would pay for security at his home out of his own funds?
