I propose to take Questions Nos. 1158, 1166, 1168, 1185 and 1230 together.
I have received representations concerning firearms held under the Firearms (Temporary Custody) Order, 1972. I wish to inform the Deputies that, while the order has expired, the firearms continue to be held in custody as a result of Government policy on the holding of firearms and there are currently no plans to release the firearms taken into custody under the original order.
However, as I have previously indicated to the House, the review of Government policy in relation to firearms matters is ongoing and I will communicate the outcome of the review to the House in the usual manner when it is completed.
