Seán Fleming: I am from Laois and a couple of months after the Electric Picnic, the local newspapers are full of stories about drugs. In addition to the uniformed policing, does the Garda Síochána always have plain clothes staff searching for drugs? Does the Garda charge for plain clothes gardaí or is that a private matter the Garda does without alerting the event organisers?

Seán Fleming: In the instances, where there has been a tragedy, and I mentioned what happened in the Phoenix Park, what kind of reassessment does the Garda conduct after such an event? People do not suggest it is the fault of the Garda when things go wrong, but what steps are taken to learn from the event and improve on the procedures?

Seán Fleming: Receipts from firearms have gone down again. That leads me on to the question of how many licensed firearms there are. How many unlicensed firearms does Ms O'Sullivan believe there are?

Seán Fleming: The Garda receives a small amount of income each year from a percentage charged to insurance companies for the collection of insurance premiums. I think I asked about this previously.

Is the Garda a collection agent for...

Seán Fleming: We mentioned communications costs a while ago, but I see the Garda mast income has gone up by €1 million in the year, from €0.5 million to €1.5 million. What system is in place? What company is it paid to? Is that not an OPW issue? Does it not own the stations?
