Recently, we have unfortunately had an escalation of violence in the Ballinacurra Weston area and a deterioration of the situation in King's Island following the very successful operations Capóg and Feabhsaigh.

Conor Sheehan: I will be very brief. I have a number of questions. On the LDA and the powers the Minister, Deputy Browne announced this morning, I am conscious that the language in his press release is very vague.
