This is a final point. I am really concerned that privatisation of the policing and the specialist Garda units seems to be on the Minister of State's agenda. It should be rejected. It reminds me of the whole situation with Shell and the Garda and the force that was used there. I am appalled at the thought of privatising policing or allowing the industry to rent a cop, as it was allowed to do in the Shell case. Will the Minister of State explain this?
