I thank the Minister for the comprehensive reply. I congratulate the Garda Síochána for the work it is doing in this area. Pending the internal review to test the adequacy of the potential response in various circumstances, is it possible or advisable to identify within the Garda Síochána areas that might come under pressure in the event of an escalation of criminal activity of one kind or another?

Are the Garda authorities satisfied regarding the rapid deployment and the extent to which it can be carried out in the event of an emergency?
