In dealing with the Bill, it is fitting that I should again pay tribute to the commitment of the men and women of the Garda Síochána, the customs national drugs team and the Naval Service, which are tasked with the continuing fight against drug trafficking at sea. The bravery and dedication they bring to their work in dealing with drug trafficking by sea, which is often carried on in extreme and hazardous weather conditions, has continued to yield substantial results in terms of seizures of drugs and arrests for smuggling.
