Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

I commend the Garda for their daily successes in dealing with these issues. The Government is investing significant effort and resources in this area. I will not go into all the statistics of where that puts us internationally. We are working on these issues. I will not take it from Deputy Rabbitte that a Government I lead and colleagues and backbenchers who work extraordinarily hard are out of touch.
