The community safety plans can genuinely be transformative because they offer the vision of community Garda teams working to a plan shaped by the local community and backed by activist councils, activist transport companies and an activist HSE. I have two questions for the Taoiseach. Will he update the House on the progress of the three pilots that are already in place? The key to their success will be ensuring those who participate from councils, the HSE and so on are clearly mandated to deliver resources and actions. How will that element be assured? Disappointment may emerge if those people are not mandated in that way.

The Minister, Deputy McEntee, might be better able than me to answer that question but she is in the Seanad. The community safety partnerships are an important innovation, on which she is really leading, and will help to make our communities both safer and stronger. I am meeting the Garda Commissioner today to discuss a number of matters and this is one of the issues on the agenda. Once I have met him, I may be able to provide more up-to-date information on how the pilots are going. What is clear is that one size will not fit all. What might work in Longford or on the north side of Dublin, for example, will not necessarily work in County Cork. We will have to figure it out as we go along.
