I propose to take Questions Nos. 1132 to 1134, inclusive, together.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that Operation Bedrock is in place to uphold the law in the context of the construction of the M3 motorway. The policing plan has been prepared by the responsible Garda Divisional Officer in respect of the obligations on An Garda Síochána to prevent any breaches of the criminal law during the construction of the M3 Motorway. The policing measures in place are deemed necessary by local Garda management to prevent any such breaches. I am further informed that it is not the policy of An Garda Síochána to comment on security matters.
