I will do something about it. As far as County Offaly is concerned, Deputy Corcoran Kennedy and I are in constant contact with An Garda Síochána and are very pleased by the recent task force announced by the chief superintendent which will see a back-up of armed units assisting in tracking down these criminals.

We must all remain vigilant in the fight against all forms of criminality in the community. Budget 2018 will support the continuation of this high level investment in the Garda workforce. I will not call for more gardaí-----
