Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

-----the Commissioner is preparing to implement a range of improvements to the resource allocations system. The Criminal Assets Bureau, as Deputy McGrath will be aware, has been very successful.

This is a case of information, vigilance and resources, and communities, as they always do, playing their part in seeing that young people, in particular, do not go down the road of getting involved in gangland warfare with horrendous results in some cases. It is an issue about which the Minister, Deputy Shatter, is in close contact with the Garda Commissioner in respect of prioritising the front line facilities for gardaí, who do an excellent job here in the sense of information and connection about what is happening in what is now quite a vicious underworld in this country.
