I have two questions. The Irish Tourist Assistance Service was before us recently and was quite anxious to have a more permanent, accessible centre in Dublin for its work. It is doing great work and asked us to raise this important point.
Under Vote 20, Garda Síochána, can we get a breakdown by year on how firearms fees are going and what fees are coming in for different categories of firearms? We are doing some work on the matter and we have been trying to get information on the number of licensed firearms lost or stolen. We find it difficult to get the information in any shape or form. It would be useful if the Minister could make the information available to the committee.
