Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)

The Deputy asked whether I am in a position to identify the culprits in a robbery, as I had been with regard to another robbery. While I am not in a position at this stage to reveal to the House the state of Garda investigations, they are well advanced on one of the robberies and good progress is being made on the more recent robbery. It would be wrong of me to satisfy the Deputy's desire for facts and figures by putting into the public domain the names of suspects in these operations.
