With regard to Question No. 3, I thank the Minister for accepting my suggestion in regard to setting up a crime committee. Will he ensure that this committee will review legislation as well as the use of Garda resources, and will he assure the House that the committee will receive the full co-operation of all the authorities involved and will be given the full assistance and any necessary back-up in carrying out their investigations and operations in the area of crime prevention?

(Limerick East): The formal terms of reference of the committee were set out on yesterday's Order Paper, which I have not got to hand. The Deputy can take it that anything which the members of the committee think appropriate to discuss and are worth while discussing can be discussed by them whether the matter is administrative or legislative. They are quite free to discuss legislation, certainly informally. The Department and I as Minister can go beyond the terms of reference and be as helpful as we possibly can. I see the committee as a very important sounding board of parliamentarians which will be of great benefit to me as Minister to give me a very accurate account of how communities and individual constituents perceive the various problems which we all admit are in this area at present.
