As I indicated previously in this House in my response to Question No. 153 of 6 April 2004, I deplore any incidents of crime against tourists as they are a vulnerable group away from their home country and without a network of family and friends to support them. I applaud the work of the Tourist Victim Support Service and I am encouraged by the support and close co-operation that the service continues to receive from the Garda Síochána.
