851. Deputy Naoise Ó Muirí asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the status of the effectiveness of Operation Tara in tackling street-level drug dealing; the number of arrests and charges made; the quantity and value of drugs seized under the operation to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have requested the information sought from the Garda authorities, regrettably this was not available in time. I will write to the Deputy again once the information is to hand.
