I take the Cathaoirleach's point. From my limited knowledge of this, and forgive me when I say that, my concentration and concerns are directed towards the security of the State and anything that falls under that heading. I contend that the points made by Members up to this point are all relevant in that regard. I note and take some comfort from the fact that work has been ongoing in this field, as the Minister has outlined, for the past five or six years. It is a constantly changing picture and I wonder how relevant the work done four or five years ago is to the world we live in today. The Minister said that best practice was followed in different jurisdictions and that a body of work had been done regarding best practice in order that we will arrive at a point where we are happy with the policy. If it is in order, could that information be circulated for the benefit of Members of this House?
