I thank the Minister for replying on this matter. We are good Europeans. If the Commission has issued a legal warning to Ireland, it is a serious issue and needs to be addressed. We are all familiar with the separation of powers and the High Court is doing its business. However, if it is a case of the Garda not dealing with offences that it does not consider serious, the House, in particular the Minister, would have to address the matter. I appreciate what the Minister has said. I hope that, as good Europeans, we will address the issue in due course.
