We need a detailed report on this. This is an issue that came to light three years ago. We have information signed off over a year ago. However, I do not get much sense of an update in the last 12 months. I am concerned and I do not know why it has taken so long. I understand the difficulty of letters coming back but, in fairness to the people, the Garda has to make an extra effort. I know there is a question of resources.
