Jim O'Keeffe (Cork South West, Fine Gael)

If a miserable €4 million can produce such a result, why is there not a contingency fund of €10 million or €15 million each year for the Commissioner to carry out three or four operations similar to Operation Anvil and to work such operations into his plans? We will not get into the mythical 2,000 gardaí that were promised three years ago and have not been produced. Until they are produced, why is money not made available to the Commissioner to enable him to have a number of operations similar to Operation Anvil?
