I received a letter this week from someone who lives not too far from the Minister of State's constituency. I have no knowledge of the author, but he seems to be an intelligent person. He alleges that the Garda are placing gay people under surveillance in his area – it is a rural, not an urban, area – for unspecified reasons and that they appear to be collecting information. He is concerned that such information would be permanently placed on the computer network. If this is happening and if it was to occur on a Europe-wide basis, then there is some cause for concern.
