View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 113, 115 and 116 together.
I have been informed by the Garda authorities, which are responsible for the detailed allocation of resources, including personnel, that a range of recently purchased IT, telecommunications and transport equipment will be available for use over the weekend of 30 April to 3 May 2004 and in future, and that equipment has also been hired specifically for use over that weekend. The final cost will be available when the weekend operation is completed and I will write to the Deputy with the details.
