I thank the Minister for his reply. What studies have been carried out into the use by the organised criminal gangs of so-called "mules" in carrying out their illegal activity? To what degree have such people been caught and prosecuted? How successful have follow-up operations to incriminate the gang leaders been? What documentary evidence has been retained relating to specific instances of the abuse of the bail laws by such criminal gangs and what action can be taken?
