In recent weeks there has been a series of organised shootings linked directly or indirectly to the drugs trade and gangland activities, the latest being in my area of Cabra where a public house was peppered with bullets. Before an innocent bystander is seriously injured or killed in one of these incidents we should debate the issue of the gun culture that exists here. Will the Leader ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to come into the House and clarify what measures are being taken to address this issue before it is too late?
