I thank the Minister for his response and welcome that he has requested a report from the Garda Commissioner on the activities of gangs. These charities are not getting their fair share of the profit. Has a timeframe been set for the completion of the report and, in the meantime, has the Garda made any suggestions on secure clothing banks? Is the Minister willing to meet representatives of these organisations to discuss their ongoing problems? I understand people are deciding against putting their clothes in banks, which leads to further problems in respect of the amount of material being made available to these projects.
