I have questions this afternoon on the matter. I assure the Deputy that it is a priority for me in the context of my Ministry and with particular reference to rural crime. I have raised the issue with the Garda authorities at the highest level. I am anxious to ensure that we can continue to roll out what is a very successful initiative in conjunction with community alert and voluntary organisations throughout the country.
