Mr. John O'Driscoll:

Aside from the resources the Deputy has heard about, in a scenario where an investigation takes place and organised crime is involved, all resources within my special crime operations section are made available. It might be the economic crime bureau that has huge resources added one day and lately, because of organised crime, people from national surveillance units and all aspects of the organisation can come together at short notice to supplement the organised crime bureau aside from its own staff. For example, many people have viewed online the incident that happened in Tallaght yesterday. The amount of armed personnel that could be gathered in that scenario in a very short time were certainly not confined to those available in Tallaght.
