I will conclude. The Minister for Justice and Equality recently announced a large new capital investment budget which will see the refurbishment and construction of new Garda stations. When enacted, the Bill will be just one more step in the Government's plan to tackle repeat offenders and put them behind bars for longer. I call on all sides of the House to support it and let the courts get tougher on repeat burglars.
