Brian O'Shea (Waterford, Labour)

I accept what the Minister said but there needs to be more urgency and focus to deal with the situation than the Minister has indicated. This is an unwelcome developing trend. I accept what the Minister said that those are not hoax call-outs in the sense that it is the Garda who make the calls. There appears to be a deliberate pattern. On the other hand, however, the hoax devices are being planted for a particular reason. Does the Minister have information as to whether anyone has been apprehended or sentenced by the courts that gives any indication of where all this activity is emanating from?
