Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

I would like the Leader to invite the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to come into the House to outline how he is going to counter the gangland warfare that is operating in Dublin and Limerick and other parts of the country at the moment. Recently there was a sixth murder in as many months in Finglas in Dublin. Residents in that area live in fear. The investigations of these murders are being carried out in Blanchardstown because the Garda station in Finglas is not suitable for this type of investigation. It is time the Minister came in here and explained how he is going to rid our society of this gangland warfare, which is quite unacceptable. The Commissioner of An Garda Síochána told the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Justice, Equality, Defence and Women's Rights he does not have the resources he would like to deal with this.
