In the light of the discussions the Minister has had on this matter with the Garda Commissioner, has he been made aware by the commissioner that in Ranelagh in a semi-derelict property which is owned by Dublin Corporation, there are a number of squatters who are known to be pushing drugs openly but that the corporation for a variety of legal reasons have been unable to move against them? If the Minister is so aware will he direct the forces of the serious crime squad to this situation since one of the families to whom Deputy Mitchell was referring is implicated in this Ranelagh house? It is a situation that needs to be dealt with urgently because it is a serious slight and imposition on all of the families in the vicinity concerned.

I thank the Deputy for that information and, if he has not communicated it to the Garda or if he wishes me to transmit it to them, I should like him to communicate with me after Question Time.
