My time is nearly up and I have to go to another meeting. The interventions the Garda has done in Limerick recently, in particular, in the Ballinacurra-Weston area, have probably prevented deaths by not having a gang war break out, probably between certain factions of the same group. The Garda has done that already in the St. Mary's Park area. That was fantastic work. There is still a sense that an awful lot more needs to be done. It is not particularly the Garda's fault. There are a number of organised crime gangs, as there are in other parts of the State. Limerick in particular has that problem.
