Jim O'Keeffe (Cork South West, Fine Gael)

I am not yet recommending electronic tags for them, although now that I have put the thought in my mind, I will have to reflect on it. I know there are limitations on resources, but if there are difficulties, then we should redirect resources from areas of lower priority. I understand that there are difficulties in the office of the DPP and that we are putting pressure on that office to get more of these people behind bars. We must go through the proper processes and court procedures, so the DPP must be given the appropriate resources, if necessary by redirection from some other less important area.
