We have seen reports on RTÉ's "Prime Time" that 23 properties have been set alight in recent months. Setting these fires amounts to a form of domestic terrorism, as my colleague, Deputy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin, has said. Very concerningly, this spate of arson attacks is posing a real and serious threat to human life. In response to a request from Deputy Ó Ríordáin, on 5 March, the Garda Commissioner and the Minister, Deputy McEntee, will address the Joint Committee on Justice on this threat. Will the Government also allocate time in this House so that we can hear from it as to how it proposes to stop these arson attacks before someone is hurt seriously or even killed?
