There comes a time when we must have some balance also in what we are doing on overall policy and frameworks, to be fair all around.

I do not have the full details on Deputy Barry's question on the inquest. I will come back to the Deputy on the issue he has raised.

Deputy McAuliffe asked about policing. We are working on this committee. We did not get to deal with it yesterday but at the next committee meeting hopefully will we will bring that to a conclusion. The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, is proceeding with the allocation of €2 million to support community partnerships and groups on the ground in the various communities. We are looking at a more comprehensive approach also.

Deputy O'Rourke also raised the issue of the Shane O'Farrell scoping inquiry, which I addressed earlier.
