Conor Lenihan (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)

Operation Anvil has been up and running for some time and has been very successful. It concentrates Garda resources, including spending on overtime, in order that gardaí can focus their efforts on particular areas and gangs where they may be active. It is essentially the type of operation I hope the Deputy would welcome because it is entirely in tune with what he is calling for. At least 100 people have been charged with murder offences under the umbrella of Operation Anvil. I am glad the Deputy supports it.
