Alan Shatter (Dublin South, Fine Gael)

The Minister of State's assurances are somewhat less than comforting. The failure to implement these warrants indicates that the Government does not have its finger on the pulse and has lost its way in implementing court judgments. A radical change is required to prevent the waste of Garda time in serving such warrants. Apart from the pilot project the Minister of State mentioned, have any alternative courses of action to address the problem been considered?
