The Minister of State must ensure that the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform rows in behind him on this. I pay tribute to the work of the Garda Síochána in rural areas in particular in providing a service to many elderly people on a community watch basis. No other scheme deserves more support. Elderly people who apply for alarm and safety systems should be granted them automatically. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Elderly people applying for alarm systems which would provide them with security and safety in their homes encounter a great deal of red tape in doing so.
