Question 9: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his attention has been drawn to recent figures from the Central Statistics Office showing a dramatic increase in drug crime during the third quarter of 2006; his views on the increases recorded in drug dealing, drug manufacturing and importing offences; his further views on whether the increase in recorded crime figures for drug related offences suggests an increase in the availability of drugs here; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
