I have a second question for the Commissioner. I am aware that in the streets of Dublin one can hire a gun for €200 or an Uzi machine gun with a magazine of bullets for €500 from, I have been told, the dissident republicans. There is a guns-for-hire culture in our city. If a person wants to shoot someone, he or she can hire a gun from somebody to carry out a murder. What else would one do with a gun? Is the Commissioner aware of that, and is it true?
