Alan Shatter (Dublin South, Fine Gael)

As I do not want to mislead the House or the Deputy, I will revert to the Deputy on the question. I assume it is something that is determined at the higher levels of An Garda Síochána with regard to the particular event that arises. I will communicate with the Deputy on the matter. I do not want to give him an inaccurate reply.
