Given that the questions request dates, will the Taoiseach say whether it is or has been considered necessary to convene the Cabinet sub-committee on drugs and social inclusion on an emergency basis? I will make a point in the context of my request for a date. Last night there was an apparent bomb explosion outside a house in Finglas and a pipe bomb attack in Ridgewood in Swords in my constituency. If, as is the suspicion, drugs were involved, should the door not be left open for the sub-committee to meet as the need arises to re-evaluate its response or the Garda response? Can social inclusion, in this case, mean the fear of children being included in such atrocities, which are very often drug-related?
