Our gardaí need extra resources and investment to enable them to cut off the supply of drugs at source. Additional gardaí, scanners and other equipment are badly needed.

To which Bill is the Deputy referring?

Indeed, some would argue that criminals are better equipped than gardaí at the moment. In that context, when will the criminal justice (proceeds of crime) Bill come before the House, under which money from the proceeds of crime is to be reinvested in Garda infrastructure?

I do not have a date for that legislation. However, I congratulate the Garda on its success this morning. It was a rapid and efficient response. I remind the Deputy that the House will be asked to vote on a Supplementary Estimate in the amount of €51 million in a few minutes.
