-----the thing was even published. I can confirm that the DNA database Bill and the mental capacity Bill will be prioritised and published in this session. I refer to the brutal murders in front of children on the streets of this city and in the country, as described. This is brutal treatment by people who have ordered the destruction and the assassination of people, in public, in front of children on the streets of Ireland. Life has become very cheap indeed. I note the comments from the Assistant Commissioner and from the Minister for Justice and Equality and the interaction with the Garda Commissioner. The Deputy may rest assured that as we have always done, we will not neglect to ensure the capacity of the Garda Síochána - who do so much extraordinary work throughout the country - to deal with these underworld drug lord assassination squads carrying out their murders in public for territorial or financial gain. It is reprehensible in this day and age, in Ireland of 2012, that these things can happen on the streets of the country. The Minister for Justice and Equality and the Garda Commissioner will apply themselves to providing whatever resources are necessary to deal with these crimes and to bring to justice those who carried out these murders.
