Vol. 430 No. 7
74 Mr. Lawlor asked the Minister for Justice if, in the light of continuing violent disturbances in north Clondalkin, Dublin 22, she will establish a Special Security Task Force to deal with these problems; if she will implement the recommendations of the Inter Departmental Committee without delay; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
84 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Justice if she has yet received the report of the Inter-Departmental Committee set up in November 1991 to consider causes of crime and disturbances in west Dublin; if it is intended to publish the report; the number of occasions on which the committee has met; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
I propose to answer Questions Nos. 74 and 84 together.
The report of the Inter-departmental Group on Urban Crime and Disorder has been completed and has been considered by me. I have already stated publicly my concern that the recommendations in the report should be implemented urgently in line with the specific commitment contained in the Partnership Programme for Government 1993-1997 and the continuation of positive discrimination in the allocation of resources to areas of urban deprivation. I am particularly concerned to ensure that certain projects identified in the report should be proceeded with on a priority basis with a view to reintegration of the long term unemployed as well as tackling economic problems arising from socio-economic disadvantages and deprivation.
