We will press the issue as part of the medium-term review. We are eager that this Bill proceed and that those involved in gangland crime be tackled and apprehended, particularly in the wake of the most recent shooting in north County Dublin and the shooting in the south inner city a few days previously. Innocent members of the public have been caught up in the feud. We must ensure that legislation is in place. We appreciate the Government's efforts in that regard and I call on the Department to allocate adequate resources so as to prevent gardaí from being taken from other divisions to tackle this crime.

I will not press the amendment but we will pursue the matter at a later stage.
