I propose to take Questions Nos. 225 and 262 together.

I wish to inform the Deputy that the Gun, Knife and Offensive Weapons Amnesty which commenced on 1 September 2006 expired at midnight on 31 October 2006. The Garda Síochána are compiling a comprehensive list of all weapons handed in which I will forward to the Deputy as soon as it is available. The Garda Síochána have informed me that up to Monday, 30 October, 2006 a total of 368 weapons, which includes 54 knives, had been handed in.
