My Department has no direct role in law enforcement, which is primarily a matter for the Garda Síochána. However, a comprehensive series of performance indicators is contained in my Department's 2001-04 strategy statement, published in December 2001. These performance indicators are linked to the high-level goals, objectives and activities of the Department. The first annual progress report due in respect of this strategy statement for 2002 will be made later this year, and placed in the Oireachtas Library.
