Joe Costello (Dublin Central, Labour)

Question 63: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the progress which has been made in the Garda investigation into two robberies of security vans in Dublin during March 2005 in which more than €4 million was taken; the total amount taken in raids on security vans during 2002, 2003, 2004 and to date in 2005; the number of such cases in which charges have been laid; if he is satisfied that the Garda has sufficient resources to deal with this plague of robberies and to bring those responsible to justice; the matters discussed at his meeting with representatives of the security industry on 31 March 2005; the reason he has opted to give the security industry four months to improve security rather than implement the powers to set standards under the Private Security Services Act 2004; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
