I thank the Minister of State for that comprehensive response, which I welcome. It is still worth noting that up to this point it has been a very cumbersome process and the figures the Minister of State has given go some way towards substantiating that point. I would like to see a system that is much more expeditious in how conclusions are reached when applications go in. As the Minister of State said, and rightly so, they are hugely beneficial to the communities in which they are installed and they are an added tool, as I said in my contribution, in respect of not alone the investigation of crimes committed but indeed the prevention of crime itself. I thank the Minister of State for her response.
