Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

I have said that I will look at any legislative measures. I raised directly with the Commissioner and senior management of the Garda the protection of witnesses legislation. They explained to me at some length how the system operates. There are a number of people in the scheme. They believe that moving further is not necessary because of the system they operate, but I will make the point again. I understand the Deputy is making it in good faith.
